Re: [Staffslug] What are YOU doing to promote FOSS and Linux?
I didn't suggest that there is any obligation to be an activist or
evangelist! If that's what you picked up on then you're obviously
reading between the lines a little too much.
I was purely asking what do you do, if anything, to help spread the word
because whilst I don't go out and hand out CDs or anything i suggest it
to friends when they complain at me because their windows installation
broke etc also I have tried to implement it at a school I worked at yet
they didn't want to keep it because when i left there was no one to
administer the systems.
I find the expansion and spread of linux/foss interesting surely there's
no harm in asking about that???

I don't think there is an obligation for all fans of FOSS to be
activists and/or evangelists.
I think contributing to a LUG is also valuable.

My favourite response to this question was stolen from Linus
Torvalds (I think)
"Just by using the software you are contributing"
I think most here know how much I contribute to the
community :-)

Arch Linux is an independent i686-optimized community
distribution for intermediate and advanced Linux users.
Utilising a Rolling Release System packages are regularly
updated and an ISO release is just a snapshot to the stable
packages at that time. So there's no need for a fresh install
the command 'pacman –Syu' upgrades the whole system.
