The libre software have the reputation to be hard to access, because they are most of time written by computer scientist for computer scientist, or some other geeks, for themselves. Nevertheless, with the recent media coverage about Linux, the libre software are more and more present, showing a philosophy and qualities, that interest a growing part of the population, which is not necessarily specialized.
