However that won't actually help people remember Linux as we make no mention of it. How about, in a world without fences you need Linux, which would do the job, perhaps I am missing the point, but the more people see the name Linux, or Ubuntu or whatever around the place, they will remember it and wonderf why its everywhere, you can't go out without seeing something with Microsoft, windows, XP or vista on, be it magazine, books or hardware, so we need people to see the product. We may not all like Ubuntu, BUT it does a great job of being good for the beginner, end of the day its Linux under the hood, and we need to remember that, I have 80 ubuntu stickers, used well people may not be able to go far without seeing one. BTW anyone got some designed for Windows Vista stickers, i want one for our wheelie bin :) Paul -- Paul Sutton www.zleap.net Support Open file formats ISO 26300 odt Next Linux User Group meet : Jan 3rd : 2pm, Shoreline Cafe Paignton -- The Mailing List for the Devon & Cornwall LUG http://mailman.dclug.org.uk/listinfo/list FAQ: http://www.dcglug.org.uk/linux_adm/list-faq.html
