My question to you is this: Will peddling some
GPL'ed/Open Source
applications give an authoritative and holistic
picture of a real
GNU/Linux system?

Amol.....i respect your opinion but beg to differ.
Migration isn't the alpha and omega of getting a
person to use FLOSS. Time and again....i have found
getting a person convinced about the superiority of
the same is a faster route to achieving nirvana with
FLOSS on his/her machine.
Its the mind my friend....you have won 90% of the
battle there itself. The GUI(GTK/BlueCurve) does the
rest...:D
