I would add "configuring".

Because you have better stuff to do than fixing your computer

[Andreas Nilsson]

Hi there!
Thomas Wood wanted some posters for LinuxWorld aimed at IT-people. The 
current posters in the wiki didn't quite cut it, so I wanted to do some 
new ones.

One thing that struck me after installing another Operating System on my 
girlfriends computer is how much stuff that screws up all the time. 
Constant troubles with viruses, trouble with devices that don't work 
(and not being able to find the install cd's for them) and so on. Not to 
talk about the time it takes to get everything up and working. It took 
me about a day to get everything working in order, installing all the 
apps like Illustrator, Photoshop, Adobe Reader etc.
I'm not saying we're perfect (if we were we could just call it quits), 
but when I installed Ubuntu on my new laptop some time ago, it took me 
less than half a hour to install the system (just hitting return a 
couple of times) and then selecting Inkscape and GIMP and the other apps 
that I wanted in the Add/Remove applications when I was done. Dead easy.

So, I thought this theme might be cool for a poster or a campaign. If 
people don't like it, I'll put it on my wall above my desk to remind me 
why I'm a GNOME developer instead.
I'm currently trying to come up with a list of stuff that I have to do 
on my girlfriends system that I don't need to do on mine. Hopefully the 
rest of you can come up with a thing or two yourself. Let's do some 
brainstorming people!

Greeting everyone, and a big thanks to all of you who came with 
constructive feedback on the leaflet. We rock!
The leaflet is now updated a bit.

Are these three just to do with working out structure
and writing the content for the future sections of
wgo?

I'll sign up to a few of these.

Hi,

What about 

GNOME is Elegant
GNOME is Simple, Clean with a Tablespoon of Style.
With a Familiar Usable Interface Productivity is Greatly Enhanced and Achieved.
Never feel a step behind, with GNOME you are a Step Ahead.

This might sound Lame
But i think we should Mention some thing about the Elegance.

Karl
