“DD: You live in Bolivia, the relatively small country. I am not
sure so many people are familiar with situation there. How popular
or unpopular is Linux in Bolivia?“GG: Bolivia is a small country if think in number of people. We
are only 9 million. But we are as big in size as France and Spain
combined.“Linux is popular in Universities, especially in computer
science careers, but not too popular in the corporate universe.
Even the Internet cafes have Windows installed in cases when Linux
could be a better option, because it is free, and also because it
is more secure.“I think the government should push the use of Linux as
Universities are doing, because that way the money stays in
Bolivia.“But it should also be said that most people do not pay for
Windows and use the pirate copies. “
