Or, in few cases, why they SHOULDN'T switch to fedora.

well, the local lug guys already use Linux, and they have heard about
fedora, so we need not think about them too much either.
Yes, i think targeting the students and colleges is a must +1. Its really
necessary to tell the students in the colleges abt open source, so that
they can look at this alternative in their earlier stages of carrier and
drive them to contribute and use FOSS.
but I'd say target the students... talk in colleges. Teach students the
principles of free software.
