Recently I started a thread about spreading the Linux gospel, which provoked a lot of interest. I have been thinking about all that and my suggested reasons for the slow uptake and lack of interest there seems to be about Linux etc. Plus, of course, all the comments. I have now realised that there is probably one major reason for the problems we have in getting more people to try it. It is simply this, so many people have never heard of it. I am still taking any opportunity to talk about Linux and too many times the other person just doesn't know that such a thing exists. When I try to explain they are often very interested and say things like 'I wish I had known about that before'. Too many think that computers equals Windows, full stop. Thoughts anyone?
