If you would have read my mails/posts properly, I again-and-again said that I was talking specifically about many small-time NON-COMPUTER related firms who would'nt have a Full-Time Administrator also. DONT EXPECT MOST OF THEM TO BE WISE ENOUGH TO UNDERSTAND CONCEPTS OF FREE SOFTWARE, COMPILATIONS, DIGITAL CERTIFICATES JUST LIKE YOU DO. Maybe they are few in number when compared to others, but they still exist. All they use computers is for simplifying (if possible) their works and entertainment. Now, if you say, I DONT CARE ABOUT SUCH PEOPLE and OFFICES, LET THEM GO TO HELL, well, I resign from trying to put forth my point.
they == NON-COMPUTER related/Any firm
Even for buying Rs.5/- vegetable people will ask 1K Qus. So if they want implement anything, then they have to consult correct person. If they took wrong decision then community will not be responsible for that.
It is similar to pvt chet funds, X took the decision and X lost the money.
In FSF Community, they can get help/guide from the mailing lists. I hope, Thats all community can do.
