I totally agree with all your points, except the top one. I just think it sounds a bit OTT/zealous... And the way you have it worded some people may assume this "linux" is a microsoft product (because of the concept of 'upgrade' to the masses being 'going to a higher/later version of my current software' - IMHO, of course). Although _we_ all think of it as an "upgrade" many will not, including the vast majority who just want to dual boot to play with it. Of course everyone has MS Windows(R) - but using their name like that to catch people's attention for our linux installfest just doesn't seem right to me... Also, if you mention "free", are you meaning it as in 'libre' or as in 'gratis'. Ok, spellings probably wrong (?) but you know what I mean - free as in beer, or as in speach? 'Cos as it is already it seems clear to me that there is little or no cost ($2 for a CD or something), and if you intend to advertise it on the second point (free as in speach) then you'll probably have to explain that, and I don't think most people are going to care. Just my 2c, I'd like to hear what others think... ? Cheers, Gareth
