Ubuntu Presentation - Thoughts and comments

[wilee-nilee]

Once again I think that it is really admirable to help the people of this region, some of the nicest genuine people I know are from the area. I can't really give you a really good dissertation of where it should be different, I think you are all on the right track. The problems with MS software are not so much the software but the users probably not being informed on the social engineering, phishing---etc. I watched several people I know just go on with regular use of their computers that were infected as if they were just used to it, until the computers were unusable, and lucky for them we have a computer science major friend who is willing to fix their computers for free, otherwise the 2 hour job on one alone to clean it at the going rate of 100$ per hour was outside of the users budget, they didn't even have a good AV setup as limiting as they are. As a Linux user mainly If I see anything that looks strange I fix it fortunately it is never the usual suspects in the MS world. I guess really I would just watch for the glazed eye look of over informing people with stuff that is hard to understand and hard to follow or remember. If you can give people a set of documents to refer to within the information setting and for reference afterward this seems like a good way of doing things. Good luck I wish you all the best in this endeavor.
