Good god would you guys get a friggin clue! This site is not about ripping anyone off its about giving the everyday man a venue to sell his ubuntu/linux work either as a hobby or profession whatever... I wanted to flatter Ubuntu and give Ubuntu/Linux a community based venue where anyone can sell there Ubuntu/Linux based computer because they like setting them up and maybe they can make some extra cash doing it...... And help promote linux as a whole.
All of you have been so tainted by Microsoft and big business that you think there is some evil plan behind everything.... THERE ISN'T I'm just a guy with a love for Ubuntu who had an idea to give everyone an auction style store to showcase there work and sell them if they wanted to.... With ebay killing you with fees I thought it would be nice for everyone to have a place dedicated to linux/Ubuntu computers to buy and sell at without the fees... But apparently no one is allowed to be good hearted anymore and create something for others..... Would it be nice if Buntfu could actually pay for itself one day sure..... But its not the reason behind it..... Maybe I had the wrong idea about the philosophy behind linux then again maybe the philosophy of linux is being jaded by big business in general,... who knows but thanks for making me feel like I did something for nothing... All I wanted to do was create something unique for everyone because its the only "big" way I can contribute I'm not a hard core programmer or a linux god or have big deep pockets... Just a guy trying to help.... I think there were two guys like that who started this whole thing anyway... Remember their names? If not you don't know linux Sincerely, Ronnie Ubuntu - Linux for Human Beings Buntfu - PCs from Human Beings "Thats called flattery not theft" Buntfu is not a linux distro, its computers with Ubuntu/Linux on them from everyday people..... hence "PCs from Human Beings" > I'm sorry but the whole ". . . human beings" seems just a bit silly to > me but that's just one man's opinion.
