Got a new (well, refurbished) Gateway laptop - sorry 'notebook' last week and stuck on Ubuntu from a cover disk. If, by 'moral principles' you include the statement: "The Ubuntu community is built on the ideas enshrined in the Ubuntu Philosophy: that software should be available free of charge, that software tools should be usable by people in their local language and despite any disabilities, and that people should have the freedom to customise and alter their software in whatever way they see fit." It sounds damn good to me (or, for the more sensitive souls d**n good). I am no longer a member of the club, ubuntu goes on the desktop as soon as the brandy wears off (and until the business plan is formlated and put into operation), BTW, installed Ubuntu, and then removed Gnome & added KDE without any hassles with mirrors. ____________________________________________________ Want to buy your Pack or Services from Mandriva?
