And what of the hundreds or thousands of general users who happen to work for
the city in question?
Methinks they'll go with what they know next time they buy a PC, seeing as they
would likely be the PC experts in their homes. And what they know would be what
they use in work, i.e. Linux.
This is a positive thing for those of us who consider ourselves advocates - the
more users exposed to Linux in a daily desktop sense, the more equality and
less FUD will spread.
