“Now turn around the table and let’s say that you run a
restaurant or an internet cafe. A sane foreign visitor in your
country would surely choose to use a tux computer that speaks her
mother tongue in preference to the “familiar” windows computers. So
here goes the proposal: Restaurant and Internet cafe owners, please
contact your local LUGs and let them show you how to profit from
Free/Libre/Open Source Software while making your customers feel at
home — computer-wise.

“So you have heard of GNU/Linux and/or FLOSS as an alternative
to Microsoft Windows. You didn’t have time to try this daunting new
technology with 3-d desktops and you didn’t know that “free” means
“freedom” not “gratis”, that you are welcome to make money out of
it. That’s ok. We will leave all the explanation works to your
local LUGs — Linux User Groups. I will just sketch how you can
make your foreign customers happy while making profit out of
it.”
