Re: [LUG] Free software and users
Hi
Just to throw something else into the argument. Public perception. I
have a mate who will shortly be moving to GNU/Linux because he wants
out of M$ for two reasons. 1. The upgrade route and 2. the closed
nature of the software. But he is the one friend I have been able to
persuade to look at GNU/Linux. All the rest are wary of something that
comes 'free'. They have this perception that if it is free, it is
probably crap. I have tried to explain the ethos but they don't get it!
How do I argue against someone who wants to pay for something!
