Here's an article that disturbs me. Although this is definitely a step in the right direction some things bewilder me.
1. Why Ubuntu? Why not one of the other better distros?
2. The rhetoric of this sentence: "Replacing Windows XP with Ubuntu might be a very difficult task, because the two systems are not at all similar. People would need to readjust to a new way of doing things on their OS and authorities might have to invest in training rather than buying Windows licenses."
What bothers me about this sentence? Because they say "difficult task"? It's really not that hard, IMHO.
"People would need to readjust"? Of course they would. Wouldn't they have to do that with ANY change? Why would this be so hard?
"Training"? This is probably a good word to use but I would suggest the phrase: "undoing the years of brainwashing" or perhaps, "detoxification".
I guess the concept of freedom is difficult for those that have been locked in.
Could someone explain to me why the word "Linux" is so scary and why these articles continue this "scary" and "difficult" rhetoric?
