It is very easy to "Sell" Linux...(it's free ;) ) everyone I tell would "LOVE"
to have a copy. But when I tell them... Just go on the internet to
???.???.???.?? and download ???Meg... They say "Can I copy yours?"
When 1.0 comes out, I plan to have both 3 1/2" and 5 1/4" versions available
at my desk for people to copy. Including disks with most of the utilities,
man pages, gcc, X, etc.
I will "SELL" at least 100 copies ;)
The best way to make Linux "spread like wild fire" is to make it available...
When you tell someone how wonderful Linux is, you should have a copy on disk
to hand them and say "here... try it..."
I don't know if too many computer stores will like posting "FREE UNIX AVAILABLE"
right next to their versions of SCO, Coh, etc...
Universities, computer clubs, work environments, etc might be better places
to post signs.
Does anyone know someone on the "inside" of PCmag, DrDobb's, or any other PC
type mag? DrDobb's did wonders for BSD386 with its articles. I think PCmag
should do a 15 page article on Linux ;)...
