:Why Linux is Not on the Desktop
Why Linux is Not on the Desktop

"Reason #14 - "Do Something for the Environment" - I agree with most of the arguments made here. Yes, with Linux you don't have the boxes and the CDs that traditional software has. My only problem here is: Would this convince one of my non-technical acquaintances to switch? Not really. If they can help the environment, they do, but they are not going to go out of the way to switch to a whole new operating system because it's good for the planet. In other words, they are not hippies."
