“Fernandez: Keep doing what you’re doing. The Linux developer
community is the most impressive and successful group in the IT
world. Linux is making progress in leaps and bounds. In terms of
end users, Linux is being adopted by more and more people every
day. Over the past ten years I’ve had many of my non-geeky friends
(I like to refer to them as civilians) ask me questions like: ‘Hey,
what’s this Linux thing I’ve been hearing about? Should I be using
Linux?’ The biggest message to people new to Linux is this: Linux
is easy. Live CDs and distros with GUIs preconfigured have removed
many of the previous barriers to adopting Linux as your primary
operating system. It’s free; what have you got to lose?”
