A lot of what you write makes good sense and, to start the ball rolling, I live in St David's in Pembrokeshire and use a desktop PC as a hobby for mail, news, some word processing and as part of my digital darkroom. I have a scanner and 2 printers, a laser and an ink jet. I also play games such as patience and help my grandchildren with their computing interests. > It strikes me that Ubuntu is the ideal Linux (if not even perhaps the > ideal OS) to be recommending to the likes of charities, schools, and > even to our Governments (in an attempt to wean them away from pouring > our taxes down billg's throat and from lock-in to closed-format > documents), and attempting to make moves in these directions may be a > way in which we find focus and achieve some success.. I agree and I thought that efforts were already being made in some of these. However, how do those such as myself help to promote the use of Ubuntu?
