A young guy who really likes Ubuntu, saw a small town TV story about really small rural public library that had installed Ubuntu on all of its public computers and its staff computers. He submitted my website and then a comment with the link to the TV website. Unfortunately at digg 53 my website shutdown - it is hosted by Site5 - but not for long. I just signed up with SiteGround because I had no idea what had happened to my site. I hope I made the right decision. Anyway, just wanted to share it here. Last time I looked it had 705 diggs.

Perhaps you could provide a link to your site or a link to your digg article? =]

The link to the article is my poor website that is still dead, so here is the link to the digg site:
http://digg.com/linux_unix/Librarian_makes_the_switch_to_Ubuntu_and_reads_dig g

Some nice things there and some not so nice - typical digg. :)

Given that the story isn't lambasting Microsoft then she is probably safe ;-)
