Yes but we have to agree to the fact that 90% of the world use their software ( pirated or licensed ). You can't keep on playing the blame game. These people use whatever works and is compatible. They dont want to get into the standards war or the FOSS vs Proprietary war. > Use Debian with 3 DVDs? Debian needs a lot of customization and plus its very difficult to start off for a newbie. > Why blame the software if ISPs restrict downloads/uploads, and if the > end-user chooses such a plan? Again we can't play the blame game here. Plus everyone doesn't have fast downloads. For example, if someone wants to install OpenOffice in Ubuntu, it'll take a very long time to download and install it on a 256Kbps /stable/ connection. > Ask them to post queries to this mailing list? Umm...they are not that tech savvy plus they want quick resolutions. -- Regards, Dinesh A. Joshi -- http://mm.glug-bom.org/mailman/listinfo/linuxers
