No reason why you couldn't offer both. I dare say most customers would
be fine with 9.04

If so, we're all starting to look (as Ubuntu users) a bit partisan & shifty.

Check out www.LaptopFix.co.uk if you're really interested. Come in on
a Saturday if you can when I'm in - would be good to meet y'all (i'm
