Oops! Well can you help me make it better.

I mean it is still in nascent stage.

Can you guyz help me improve it but at the same type keep it simple bcoz that is what Ubuntu is!

BTW is 'Welcome to 1984' a comment on my flyer [ok not a flyer but...] or is that part of your signature?

It's my signature, totally unrelated. Pick up George Orwell - 1984 if you want to know what it's about. Or listen to Dead Kennedies - California Uber Alles!

Couldn't connect to the server to see the updated version, but it's likely something on my side, I'll check back.

Wanted to comment on your phrasing...forgive me, but...

"But what can take you aback is the extreme amount of configurations required."

Has negative connotations.

Psychologically speaking - you just scared away a big portion of your demo.

It's important (while still maintaing honesty in advertising) to not bring up anything negative in the initial contact with potential "customers" regarding a product. People will read that line and get turned away - they will remember what they had heard about linux -- all of it - linux is for geeks
linux is terrifically hard to set up and configure (we know differently, don't we)

As well, Ubuntu is completely NOT hard to configure, not does it require such from the end-user. In fact, I would remove that phrasing and replace it with the following:

No longer is Linux hard to configure...or call it a NEW thing -- hey now - Linux is now easier than windows to install and configure.

NEVER use wording that would potentially scare away a (large or small) portion of your intended audiance.

peace

"completey" is not a word. :)
