The hard disks in the Race Online PCs are all 80G at least so why is dual booting not an option there as standard.
Because it's confusing. If people are learning to use computers, it makes sense that they boot into one install of one OS to do the learnings of the fundamentals. Continually switching between Linux and Windows is going to be horribly horribly confusing, even if you do concoct some scheme whereby all the files are similarly conveniently placed in each OS.
Why are people being forced to choose before they know anything?
They're specifically not. If, on first boot, they were presented with Grub asking if they wanted Linux or Windows, *then* they would be forced to choose. Here, the choice is being made for them.
I am going to try to get the Guardian involved in running this as a campaign. Why should anyone buying a reconditioned PC be denied the chance to try Linux?- If it is only a matter of the right disk image getting put on in minutes?
They're not being denied the chance to try it, they're just not having the opportunity thrust upon them.
Is it a problem that they're also being 'denied' the chance to try OSX? -- Avi -- [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/
