The thing is, average person dont care.

First show them that linux runs better than windows then tell them why linux is good and why opensource/GNU/Linux/GPL are good morally.

I for one moved to (gentoo) linux not because it was "free", I moved because it worked better for me and my needs.

Also using an easy to use distro is a good idea, mandrake is a good bet.

peace
