I didn't start using Linux because I could share files w/ samba or because
of single sign-on capabilities w/ SSH.  I move to linux(from Free) because
I wanted to play games. similarly if you want to attract people you must
sell them what they want. Games and the internet are the primary use for
Computers. Want to convince people to use Linux, show them that Linux is
better for playing games and tooling around on the internet(if you want to
play dirty you could use the hacker scare that MS likes to though around)
I agree that things like KDE, E, GNOME, and the more intelligently laid
out directory setup(i.e. your cdrom is /cdrom or /mnt/cdrom not
<whatever>:) and things like that. The newer the user the better, new
users are more likely to be comfortable w/ linux than windows users.
