Show them real applications attracting attention (Score 1)

I think the best way is to show them some aplication to attract the attention Remember in Windows world, people try to think in terms of simplicity not power cause most NIx users r geeks but mmost Windows knowledge seekers are less brave to tackle Nix pros and cons I dd gave a seminar a while ago on Open source applications on the Internet and beleive it or not people dd not beleive what they say Shwo them KDE and its use, talk about Apache, gimp, .... This would help u a lot to get their attention thenu can do down to more core features Good luck
