Mulai bulan Juni, anggota PLUG mengadakan sosialisasi Linux di warnet-warnet. Mengingat isu sweeping telah berkembang.

Untuk sosialisasi ini, distro yang digunakan adalah distro jenis LiveCD, yaitu distro PCLinuxOS 2007. Pemilihan penggunaan distro PCLinuxOS 2007 ini telah mengalami beberapa pertimbangan.

Disamping distro PCLinuxOS 2007 sebagai distro utama kegiatan sosialisasi ini, distro lain yang sejenis Live CD juga digunakan, semisal Mandriva Spring One, Ubuntu, dan lain-lainnya.

Untuk sementara ini sebagian besar warnet dan pengguna komputer telah mengenal Linux.
