The products might be well known, but the fact that they're Linux based might not be. The branding campaign would help transfer the good vibe from the well-known excellent products to the common name Linux. - Dan _______________________________________________ Desktop_architects mailing list [email protected] https://lists.linux-foundation.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop_architects
