I agree, if we were to make an Ubuntu banner then we'd need one for Debian, Fedora, Gentoo, Mandriva, SuSE, PCLinuxOS etc etcOn Thu, 04 Feb 2010 18:42:28 +0000 Paul Sutton wrote:-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi I know we have a dcglug banner but it looks like enigma signs in Yalberton currently have a special offer on Â15 per meter signs http://www.enigmasigns.biz/ just wondered if its worth us clubbing together to raise Â15 + for a ubuntu sign or perhaps have Ubuntu Hour here to day or similar So if / when we do have events relating to ubuntu we can put this up. PaulI'm not sure I'd agree with an Ubuntu banner - I don't like the idea of promoting one specific distro over another. Well, not like that anyway. I'm quite happy to recommend Ubuntu as a good distro to start with, and maybe stick with if it suits them, but don't forget that this is a Linux User Group, not an Ubuntu User Group. (Incidentally, I'm an Ubuntu user (as well as Debian & WebOS, and previously pretty much any distro I could get my hands on), so it's not an elitist thing on my part).
A simple Tux banner with a good, catchy "slogan" (for want of a better expression... my mind is all a fuzz at the moment... bloody rhinovirus!) would be far more appropriate.
"bloody rhinovirus!"Ahh yeah, it has a kind of ring to it. How's about... Linux - better than having the bloody rhinovirus!
