I believe it still on depends on the demand of Linux, the more people using a product the more support will be required. I remember some one on this list mentioning that the 'best' windows administrators are as well Linux administrators. May advise though would be not to mention alot about Linux skills if you go a Windows administrative work, but when you are there, start slowly to market Linux. In this we shall see more people demand for Linux. In my current work place, there was no one using Linux as a desktop but because of my inclusion on the work force, I can now brag of at least three persons per year have asked me questions about Linux. What is the trick? We people who have some Linux skills should posse as windows administrators when need arises so that we ultimately market Linux and subsequently increase the demand of Linux administrators.

Date: Thu, 2 Feb 2012 09:37:20 +0300 It would be be up to us interested in Linux administration to go out and offer it as an alternative to Windows. Windows is flourishing due in part to ignorance about Linux technologies. If we pushed Linux harder into the market, then the market would realize it's enormous advantage over windows. Sometimes the best products are ignored because not enough has been put in promoting them.

So, the question is, what's people's opinion with regards on the demand for Linux in Uganda? is it rising? is it shrinking or stagnant? And in effect, what is the demand for Linux administrators in the country? _______________________________________________ The Uganda Linux User Group: http://linux.or.ug Send messages to this mailing list by addressing e-mails to: [email protected] Mailing list archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ Mailing list settings: http://kym.net/mailman/listinfo/lug To unsubscribe: http://kym.net/mailman/options/lug The Uganda LUG mailing list is generously hosted by INFOCOM: http://www.infocom.co.ug/ The above comments and data are owned by whoever posted them (including attachments if any).
