Absolutely. However some people like to know more in-depth information
about it when proposed. A lot of folks have been running M$ for ages and
never heard of Linux/OSS, so they need a little convincing (more than
just being shown a simple comparison chart 'before/after').
You wouldn't believe how hard it can be to 'sell' the right solution.
Some people much rather stick to a dodgy, hard to use and inefficient
set-up just because they fear changing to something they've never seen
before.
