[ILUG-Cochin.org] how to convert kerala to a Free software State?

[Deepu Joseph]

I agree with Anoop. Most of the local vendors explicity tell everyone who
buys a new PC/laptop that if they install Linux, they will not be able to
support them in case some problem arises. This becomes the key deciding
factor for a lot of less technical people to stay with Windows.
