We can make a difference, since Ubuntu I've completely removed M$ from my pc's. I had many distro's RH, SuSe, Fedora etc.. but now it has reached a level so user friendly anyone can use it. Don't talk about installing cause 90% of the users can't install M$ either. And here we can make a difference.
Most of the Linux users have a fair good knowledge on how a pc works, the kind of person people come to when there M$ system slows down to much or is crawling with viruses to reinstall there os and programs for free. I can only speak for myself but I can't count the times I've reinstalled windows for people (oh yes, no charge at all). Now I give them an alternative with Ubuntu (free as usual), if they refuse I say they have to go to the vendor where they bought the pc (oh yes they have to pay there and as usual they forget or won't install(printer,scanner ...) drivers ;-) ). I'm tiered trying to convert people and mostly of tuning a M$ system (after a month or less the system is f$*k'd up again). If they change to Ubuntu I will help them as much as possible as I always did. If they don't they can take there troubles somewhere else and pay for it. If we all do it how long will it take? Let them learn the hard way, because they won't take the easy way. Just my nine pence ;-) Amedee Van Gasse schreef: > An interesting article featured on /. > http://blog.anamazingmind.com/2008/02/why-linux-doesnt-spread-curse-of-being.html > > > -- ubuntu-be mailing list / mailto:[email protected] Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-be
