Article: Are You Ready for Linux 4903
You've undertaken a good cause - to spread the good news; however, here is my critique of your methods: "...have been refining it." leave out the...

It's just not well-written. As an essay, it fails most tests I can think of, from intelligibility to interest.

That parts of it are completely objectionable on further grounds yet doesn't make it anything less than childishly awful in its own right.

First - know what you are talking about. Second, communicate it.

You are trying to do the second without having pbutted the baptism of fire of the first. The result is simply painful. It's like watching a natural history program "for beginners" which begins "an elephant is like a hairy smelly snake". Well, it is, if you are completely blind, deaf, and have felt its tail in pbutting.

That reduces your audience to that of "the blind who can't tell when an elephant is in the room and a hairy smelly snake is not".

The author, first of all. First understand, then communicate.
