Update for Germany, 2011: Most internet cafes i see switched to Ubuntu meanwhile. This is always a good starting point for students (for example moving or on holiday) who use cafes a lot.

The very single thing they use in the first place is the internet browser. It is not really adding to this discussion but it must be siad that the available browsers (and preferably firefox or konqueror) need to be priority #1 today, especially at the brink of cloud computing.

That said, this will alll change since more and more young people have PDAs and other internet mobiles. They won't need internet cafes anymore. (I believe these will all die away sooner or later.)

So the mobile or PDA market would be another priority, but this is a totally different stage.

But getting students to know Linux is not fully efficient anyway. The first computer experience is what counts, and that's (for most kids) when they are in school age.

Which means, schools and of course, parents are the multiplyers. And there we need an easy desktop again.

I propose:

* To supply marriage offices with linux distros to hand out.
* To convince school directors with presentation visits and selfmade high quality coffee.
* To initiate a unified taskforce to create a fully operational linux OS for mobiles, based on Debian, and convince Blackberry to be the first member.
* To convince Novell SuSe to move to Debian too. (I am sorry but what the heck)
* A good media PR for the first space enabled Ubuntu for the ISS (handed over by Shuttleworth)
* Append 'created on <bla> linux to every mail and document.
* nuclear-power free linux :)

All that payed by governemnt of course.
