Thank you for the link i have added this to my website,  now what I need 
is some sort of uptodate faq that can help promote the advantages of 
Linux over other operating systems, without being too complex,  the sort 
of thing that can be used as a guide in promotional material or help me 
make my own website more accurate, etc.

I know there is one out there,  but it's pretty big,  i just need 
something simple.   for example to answer the following

Focus on what Linux has to offer. There is no need to bash the 
competition. Linux is a good, solid product that stands on its own.

but there is no point in saying Linux is a multi-tasking, 
multiprocessing operating system kernel when I then have to try and 
explain this to someone with no knowledge of computers,  and will just 
want something to write letters, surf the net and send mail but still 
understand they are using free software and what that means,  KISS whats 
relevent and what is not kind of thing
