In my master (administration) they show me that while everyone is trying to sell everything to the 10% top of the social pyramid, they forget that the other 90% have needs, and one of the TOP needs is education (learning) and so they need computers and internet. Here (Brazil) the price of the desktop is the same of a notebook, so people prefer the notebook, small ones, (1Gb memory, 160Gb hd, celerom/atom)... Here I bought several notebooks HD (sansung 160GB or sansung 320GB) install archlinux (cloning the filesystem), so I always have about 5 units ready when I receive a notebook, I open it, change the HD, boot it, fix the Xserver config, and it is ready, usually a 10-15 minutes work time... Sometimes I had to install gnome-ppp to support 3G/gprs network. People use Linux because it is easy, and cheaper, (even if windows is for free: pirate one), they charge for installing it over and over again.. so Linux is cheaper. better.. Sergio
