The local computer shop had some ubuntu cd they give away for free to costumers, but when i asked if they also sold pc's with ubuntu installed on it they said they didn''t do that because the problems they expected with support for it.

I don't know anyone personally who uses Ubuntu (except online, of course). Most Linux people I meet use SuSe, one uses Debian, the rest are all Windows users.

There are about 10 ubuntu users on the Big Island... maybe more who don't come to LUG meetings

WEll I am taking the arduous task of evangelizing .... sharing the Ubuntu spirit and actually installing it on some of my friend's PC's... I wanna make sure they get it right... (the install) ... I had some problems when I installed... but I have learned so much with the info here and the wiki...

I'm going to get a tShirt made... it will read...

God Created the Universe
Then he developed UBUNTU.
ask me why!

Here in OR, people have no idea what Ubuntu is. Nobody I have talked to about it anyways... and the instant you mention that it's a Linux distro, they suddenly lose interest.

Nice place you live in never seen it in holland

But in Grun in the cold north i have seen some people using it, but it would be better if some computershops sold pc's with a distro on it. Just use a theme with much eyecandy and some cool appz and people will ask what is that on there demo pc's
