Can someone help my journalist friend in Mumbai. Since Dionne writes a lot about alternatives, it would also help if able to use an alternative operating system! Thanks in advance, guys... FN

hi fred, hope you are well.. i just wanted to ask you something.... i want to switch to linux but everybody is discouraging me because they say it that you have to learn it and also there are not many engineers who know about linux in case you face any problem. is that true? do you know ordinary people in mumbai (who are not so tech savvy) who are using linux? thanks, d
