Hey people...
As Sankarshan Mukhopadhyay said "thanks for the poking"...
I'm gonna talk about Argentina and its culture about Free and Commercial software.
There are some people that have prejudice about free software. These people rather than buying the Commercial one, buy a pirate version of it.
So, what's the deal with them? You can be shutted down if you get caught using illegal versions of Commercial software. That's why I'm a person that rely on something that people worked on and know that free software can be even more stable than Commercial one.
Perhaps, the people down here expect too much or not but they think that having Commercial software legally or not (this is tricky, lol).
Anyway... I'm very happy with FC4 and I'll try FC5 when the final release come out. Of course, it's a superb OS. I'm advising to people to download the ISOs or I'm delivering CDs to a small group of friends and stuff.
And, of course, I'm trying to change the people that says free software is bad and you can't rely on. I already told them that free doesn't mean bad.
Well... You can't change people but I'm trying. :)
I'm gonna write more often, I promise. ;)

Of course you can charge tons and donate those to the Fedora Foundation if getting stuff for free makes it looks bad ;-)

more stable, more advanced and more secure.

Same here. Keep trying and we will succeed :)
You can't change people. But you can change their mind and their way of thinking with corrected formulated words/sentences and proved facts :)
I'm gonna write more often, I promise. ;)
We'll hear from you.

Give them Knoppix, or soon a Fedora LiveCD, and show them how Linux works! Don't continually say "Linux is better", but prove it! That works for me sometimes :-)
