It's one of the perceived weaknesses of Linux; if it's so good why do some of its proponents have to defend/promote it so vehemently?
There is no single marketing organisation for it. At least in the early days, the only way to be able to use GNU/Linux at work was to defend/promote it yourself, as your boss wouldn't have been won over by the big UK marketing spend of Walnut Creek. I don't think that the proponents are a weakness. They're a strength, basically, but sometimes the language and style lacks some polish. Hey, that should be endearing in small moderate doses. We're not marketing men. We're real people in the real world. -- MJR/slef My Opinion Only and possibly not of any group I know.
