Does the subject ever come up relating to why it is pretty well impossible to buy a machine pre installed with Ubuntu or any other Linux based operating system? The technical pros and cons of Windows versus whatever is an enticing smoke screen. Windows has at least as many failings as any other system, I would suggest it has more. My friends have not used anything but Windows in the past because that is what was preinstalled, not because they had any choice. As soon as they find they can have Ubuntu installed for them, that is what they ask me for. And I am happy to help. The recent hardening in Government policy making open standards mandatory might be an interesting one to be aware of too. -- alan cocks Ubuntu user -- [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/
