If you're going to be picky and pedantic, at least be correct. These two are patently incorrect[0],[1]. Claiming otherwise to anyone to whom those are important traits will only dissapoint them when it turns out that Linux/Ubuntu/whatever isn't the utopian OS they were sold it as. One thing I'd really like us to advertise on is honesty - the openness of bug reporting and the like, for example - and lying to get people to use the OS doesn't sit particularly well with that. [0] - Viruses for Linux/Unix abound. Go google. Sure, the OS is relatively safe from them but most users care more about their own files than their OS, and they've full write privileges to that. And all tutorials now appear to start with 'sudo' in any case. Making people believe that there are no viruses just means they'll think even less before copying and pasting stuff into xterm. [1] As for reading and writing all MS files and anything from any Win or OSX program, for obvious complete incompatibility AutoCAD and FruitLoops come to mind. OOo/MSOffice compatibility is still nowhere near good enough for one to just replace the other. -- Avi -- [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/
