I'm sure that's true. The responses to your post are quite right however: from a technical point of view the article you've linked to is pretty inaccurate and poor quality. But to move this thread on, I think it's better to focus on your position that Ubuntu is losing out on popularity to PCLinuxOS, and be constructive: do you have any ideas about *how* Ubuntu can address the position. It's all very well to use the word "marketing" willy-nilly, but if that isn't backed up with proposals to do something positive, then it's not very useful. Here's one idea to kick off: perhaps writing a constructive response to articles like this might be helpful, pointing out all the mistakes (for example, that Ubuntu has also only been around for a few years, since 2004, that PCLinuxOS / Ubuntu both use apt, that codecs like those required to play mp3s are automatically installed when required, hardware support, and highlighting any advantages Ubuntu has, such as good security responses or whatever). -- Matthew East http://www.mdke.org gnupg pub 1024D/0E6B06FF -- ubuntu-marketing mailing list [email protected] Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-marketing
