Hello Robi,
 I'm not sure if this is what you are looking for. But I just finished
writing a testamonial about Linux for our local User Group here
in Victoria, and in it I tried to explain a little about what it means
to me and why I love it.
You can view the page at:

I also hereby give permission for you to reprint in whole or in part
the page so long as you don't rewrite (ie:put words in my mouth).

Later,
