Well there seems to be a market for PC's minus an OS now, problem is there a lot of real hard core techies probably build their own systems, I can well sort of, but chose to buy a new system from ebuyer (emachines 1401) which works really well. How do you educate people about this new technology built in to BIOS's without boring people,.confusing people with what they see as compex jargon or worse coming across as paranoid. All of which is counter productive, unless it makes their life harder as a windows user, will people care or will they just accept it, and carry on. Do people care about how facebook operates as long as they can use facebook. if it helps, my new ubuntu poster gives the web addy of the Uk ubuntu list, so people can join and ask for help, from there people can direct to their local LInux user group.
