It's true anyone can download Linux. The problem is that many consumers are unaware that Linux or OSS even exists. My cousins that go to high tech high are oblivious that Linux exists. Giving Distros would build awareness of Linux and would be relatively cheap for the group.
Another alternative would be to offer some presentations on Linux to K-12 students. ----- Original Message ---- From: Andrew Lentvorski <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: Main Discussion List for KPLUG <kplug-list@kernel-panic.org> Sent: Thursday, June 5, 2008 11:16:25 PM Subject: Re: fed up with firefox, java and fedora Tracy R Reed wrote: > [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: >> Why is that?

Yeah, that's pretty much it. Anybody who is going to run Linux has a fast enough net connection that there really isn't any point in buying them. In addition, you can get a *free* Ubuntu CD from Ubuntu if you really want it. -a -- KPLUG-List@kernel-panic.org http://www.kernel-panic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/kplug-list -- KPLUG-List@kernel-panic.org http://www.kernel-panic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/kplug-list
