Yeah, I agree. Anyone who signs up to take a Linux basics course is
already going to be 95% converted. Although ideally you could set up a
course whereby Windows-minded users would stop in to see what they might
be missing, in practice I think you'll get people who really *want* to
learn Linux as there is a fair amount of activation energy involved in
getting yourself over to a course, especially a multi-session one.

I think a presentation that seeks to convince the audience of the
effiencies of Linux is probably better suited for a different forum, like
maybe an one shot on-campus type thing.
