Sheer economics are making the use of the Linux operating system increasingly widespread. It is free, reliable and safe. But when adopting any new operating system, users always have a lot to learn.

On top of that, many users think Linux is hard to use, which is, of course, not necessarily true. But it is your job to overcome their reluctance and train them to use Linux so it becomes second nature, and so they are just as at-ease with it as they are with Windows.

Without sending users on some sort of boot camp, changing the preconceptions of users may seem a daunting task. But there are ways to ease the pain of learning Linux.
