Re: [LUG] I am NOT a PC !?!?!

 

Hey,
why not: I'm a human being and I chose Linux rather than saying I am one. Still I like the: I'm a penguin idea.

Sincerely,
Jaan Jänesmäe

I seem to remember one poster saying in a world without fences, who
needs gates.  thing is bill gates is no longer head of microsoft,  so
perhaps in a world without walls, who needs windows.  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 :)
