1) "Linux (commonly pronounced /ˈlɪnəks/ LIN-əks in American English,[4][5] also pronounced /ˈlɪnʊks/ LIN-ooks[6] in Europe and Canada) refers to the family of Unix-like computer operating systems using the Linux kernel." Thats the common use of the word "Linux" and its quite obvious that i did not talk about the kernel.
2) Thats actually what most people are doing in order to spread Ubuntu, and I agree that it is a good method to spread Ubuntu in a place where Windows cant go. This is not something i suggested, but stated my approval of. There was someone else that posted that they was doing this for people that cannot afford new computers. 3) Yes. And we do not really have a problem on the server side. 4) The creation of a store for both Ubuntu and non-Ubuntu would not be nightmarish using PackageKit. A store? Can you buy applications in USC? How do I add a commercial application to that store? My favourite would actually be something like Java Store. However it would only be good for the few Java applications out there. Take a look at Xandros and their success. CNR seam to work quite well, just to bad that their OS is... Also supporting other OS:es is not a hard requirement. > @faldegast: > 1) Why would we market a kernel? > 2) Running Ubuntu on scrap/old is not putting our best foot forward, and > creates support issues. > 3) For the server side, we have Ubuntu Server. > 4) Ubuntu Software Centre is just that: a store for Ubuntu-compatible > software.

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
