A couple of years ago, the average user thought that Microsoft was the epitome of computing. There were no visible alternatives, so they just kept using what they had always used, Windows. All of a sudden, this UNIX clone called Linux, starts to become popular. People see that it isn't that bad. They play with Linux, learn to like it, want more, and eventualy move on to BSD based systems. Of course, if you don't care for new users... - v -- Victor R.
