Another big target would be the student market - none of us have lots of money to spend on either expensive hardware or software, so trying to increase use among university/college students would be a good move I feel. I write for my student newspaper and am hoping to do a feature on ubuntu next (academic) year as it is. Josh (p.s. - Hi!
