...why isn't there a "linux.com/switch"???
-
Waarom zijn sommige mensen zo ongelofelijk dom? :(
[EDIT]OK, OK... it's because that would be copying Apple.
Such a campain would also have to aim at one Linux distribution, witch can be unfair to other distributions...
There are also better ways to spend money than on commercials.[/EDIT]

Linux speaks for itself. It does not need adverts. I had never seen a commercial for Linux, before I converted, and it has an estimated what 2%+ of the market, wihtout mojor advertising campaigns. That is better than Apple or M$ had achieved without major commercial reinforcement. Linux will climb and climb and eat up M$ workstations. I Got another potential today. Where do you want to go today? - LINUX. I downloaded Mandrake 9.0, because I need two more copies for converts who only have 56k

Ive seen a lot of linux commercials all from ibm.

I always see IBM commercials, on techtv, hyping linux.
-
I rarely see commericals that are computer related(because I only get 2 channels). Recently I've seen Apple's campaign on TV. Today I overheard a MSN advertisement, suddenly I was like(in my head) "ARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGH!". :D

I may just be a little confused, but could you elaborate. How can ya tell how MS or Apple is doing w/out ads, since they both most certainly advertise.

re: adverts, as i said elsewhere i worked at IBM for a few weeks last month and they all used Lotus/Microsoft software, and i noticed that Sun were advertising Sun Linux and Sun Solaris in their window here in London last week.

Your ADSL will work if you have a supported network card, which you mostly likely have.
