Why I think Linux adoption isn't as good as it can be...

Hell, my mom even runs Linux now --- I've got her on a Mandriva Linux 2006 laptop with wireless networking --- and she's not exactly 1337. She asked me to install Linux after the last time Windows crashed on her and lost a bunch of her data, and she's been happy with the switch. No more perpetual upgrades (both hardware and software), crashes, bloat, instability, virii, malware, artificial limitations, etc. etc. etc...

Geesh, here I was impressed with myself that I got my mom to use Firefox.

On a good note though, running as Root on Linux is much safer than running as Administrator on Windows.

I think schools should start handing out free copies of Knoppix. That way students can study Linux whilst keeping their Windows installation safe. In fact, I think schools should use Linux full stop. They are always strapped for cash because the government doesn't give them enough, so why not save money and use Linux? A new Linux generation will be born, and the whole world will live happily ever after

I couldn't agree more with you. Even just switching to O would save a ton of money. I can't imagine how much they pay for licenses.

[ot]The other thing that would save them money is VOIP, neither one will be considered though.[/ot]
