You have to know who your audience is. Know your customers.
The first people I talked to are those who are Cautious but are asking questions. I mean I don't have to prompt them. They are curious about Linux and has tons of questions for you.
The second group are those that are very skeptical but are interested enough to point things out to you. This second group are mostly defensive about what I am saying. And its my fault. You don't start your sale pitch by telling them the product they are using sucks. You learn to just tell them about Linux and enumerate its advantages.
The third kind of people are the ones that leaves me open-mouthed. SNATACWPH-Should Never be Allowed to Touch A Computer Without Professional Help. You know the Q & A common here:
Customer: Can I install this (Linux) in my Windows computer?
Me: This is not an application, it's an alternative operating system to Windows. :)
Customer: A what? What's an operating system?
Me: It handles all the other applications in your computer.
Customer: If I install linux, can I still play online poker? ::clueless::
