Hi Guys and Gals, I use and advocate Ubuntu a lot these days to home users and small office folks.
Two challenges I see when I relate to this article is still very big, 1. In the section Managing your machine "One thing that a user needs to keep in mind is to buy Linux supported hardware. " Unfortunately, this is not easy to find the hardware supported by Linux (and many times that would mean an available RPM) or Ubuntu. While installing some hardware is a cake walk, installing some others still means wading through command line. I may be able to do that with lot of internet search, but not an average user whom I advise to use it. Probably canonical/Ubuntu should have another site similar to http://www.ubuntu.com/certification/desktop/ to list the devices like webcam, network cards, printers, scanners etc etc which work out of the box for a listed version of Ubuntu. 2. Challenges section. "To solve this problem the company can work with local vendors to sell Ubuntu CDs." I do not know if there is any company (canonical or another one) who does that. On Similar way, I am keen to know if any company is giving Ubuntu support to check and resolve problems for any one who is willing to pay a reasonable charge. If there is a good solution for these two, I am sure Ubuntu can catch up India very fast.
