I must admit that this bug is so big that probably will take a while to
solve...{if}. Anyway, as for my self, I am Italian but live in London
with my family from many years now. I have tried to source among the
people that I know or I meet regularly, surprisingly most of them have
no idea of what Linux / Ubuntu is all about.-- Answers I got when I asked what linux was? 1- I normally use Hotmail 2- I don't need antivirus 3- is a version of Apple While I do believe that there is a lot of confusion and fuss about what linux does and is, I have come to the conclusion that a great amount of people can't even distinguish what is the difference between an Operating System and a Web Browser. What I envision for the future of Linux and Open source is to spread more and more in to schools and college so that students can come across it on early stages, if you ask the average guy of my age, [I am 40], you will see the expression of his face changing a bit in to a question mark. At some point I have sourced differently by going out in main shopping street and visiting computer shops and electronics to see who and where was selling PC or Laptops with Linux pre installed, and, a part for a few very basic linux editions for cheap netbooks, I haven't seen anything of the flavour of Ubuntu coming installed in brand new machines. I would like to extend this opportunity to anyone as firmly interested as me and do it ourself. It would be fantastic to open a shop where a client pays for the hardware not for the software, or where a client buys a PC and a full OS dvd is given together for backup and restore. -- Microsoft has a majority market share https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu 4 dz, which is a direct subscriber.

This is a bug, which Ubuntu is designed to fix. Non-free software is holding back innovation in the IT industry, restricting access to IT to a small part of the world's population and limiting the ability of software developers to reach their full potential, globally. This bug is widely evident in the PC industry. Steps to repeat: 1. Visit a local PC store. What happens: 2. Observe that a majority of PCs for sale have non-free software pre-installed. 3. Observe very few PCs with Ubuntu and free software pre-installed. What should happen: 1. A majority of the PCs for sale should include only free software like Ubuntu. 2. Ubuntu should be marketed in a way such that its amazing features and benefits would be apparent and known by all. 3. The system shall become more and more user friendly as time passes. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~algeriatul Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~algeriatul More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
