I am working on 'Talking Points' for Linux, and wanted to see what y'all
thought.
(Talking Points is like a top ten list, so it is easy to remember and rolls off your tongue when someone asks about the subject.)
Here are my 'requirements'
My audience is someone who has heard about Linux, and wants to hear more. This person is _not_ a programmer, but does understand some (unfortunately there is no def. of 'some') of the Info Systems issues. (FYI-- this is my lame definition of management :)
There can be only 10 talking points (if there were 151 (pokemon) only 8-12 year olds can remember anyway) actually one could argue that someone may not remember more than 1 or 2 points) The idea is to have the capacity for 10, so as to focus on 1 or 2 that the person is interested in.
At this point I have not sequenced the points in the order of importance
(although I will).
1. The Linux community fixes bugs faster than Microsoft. 2. Linux needs less hardware 3. Costs less 4. Extensive free documentation 5. Linux has a windows-like environment / more windows manager choices 6. Don't have to reboot every time software is installed. 7. No registry - less chance for virus/ corruption 8. Viruses extremely difficult to write for Linux 9. When system stays updated with latest security patches, it is more secure than MS 10. Linux certification is available
After we get through a couple of iterations lets post them somewhere (this is by no means __MY__ stuff ..... anyone can use this).

Just my 2cts : I think you missed 4 important points - Linux is stable - Linux is very stable - You don't have to reboot it at least once a day to keep it stable - You don't have to reinstall it from scratch twice a year to keep it stable - You don't even have to reboot once a year to keep it stable OK, that's 5 points, but who cares... I hope you'll make your final 10 points publicly available, 'cause everybody needs such points once in a while ... and another point - IBM, Oracle, Intel and more support Linux -- To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe@suse.com For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the FAQ at http://www.suse.com/support/faq
