In the previous article, our computer newbie family, Mike, Diane, Mary and Carla, had decided they wanted GNU/Linux installed on the new family/business computer. Debian, via Libranet 2.0, was installed on the system, with appropriate business/office software, as well as the Gnome desktop environment. The next steps involved getting the system configured for easy use and adding various minor tweaks. Mike, Diane and the kids were not involved during the configuration phase of the system.

Only a few people say it aloud: piracy is the real reason linux doesn't gain much ground on home desktop pc's. Without pirated copies of windows XP, Office, photoshop and Unreal Tournament a lot of home users would be stuck with awful software like windows ME or 98, ms works, wordpad, paint, because they are more willing to pay for that game than for a real productivity suite or photoshop etc. Certainly here in Holland there is a lot of piracy but countries like Russia, China or the phillipines are practically running there entire IT sector on pirated software. Without piracy lots and lots of people would be forced to either get used to linux or invest twice the money they have a budget for, on software. I have no prove, but I this is the truth.
