Yup, the big Linux flaw
is a lack of advertising. Most average people I mention it to don't
have a clue what it is, it's benefits, or where to have a look at it. I
categorize it as 'technology's best kept secret' among average
consumers. Word of mouth is fine for the tech-oriented, but the
Linux world really needs to put together a solid, ongoing ad
campaign to get any real traction with the consumer world. But that
costs money. Who will pay? Just my 2? worth.
