“Over the last eighteen months, Linux has been getting a very
large amount of press coverage. This enormous coverage hasn’t been
limited to just computer industry publications such as Network
Magazine or IEEE, but has also included more mainstream
publications such as Time, Forbes, and CNN.”

“This means that the number of people who are aware of Linux’s
existence is much higher than ever before. While all this exposure
is wonderful, most of the people who read about Linux have probably
never actually seen Linux in action. Some of the readers may not
care, but there are definitely those that would be willing to give
Linux a try with a little more exposure to it and a support network
to help them. Reading about Linux is a good way to pique someone’s
interest, but the best way to get the word out about Linux to the
non-geek world is to have people actually see what it can do.”
