Ubuntu promoted by fool

Thought I would mention this site as an excellent site http://www.fool.co.uk. I use this site a lot it has great tips and advice on money saving.

But get this, they just promoted Ubuntu so its only fair to do the same back. Credit due where credit is deserved.

Check out this article. http://www.fool.co.uk/news/money-saving-tips/household-bills/2007/05/15/kit-out-a-pc-for-free!.aspx?source=ioowftxt0010011

That's pretty cool. The only thing I don't understand is why do they tell you to install Ubuntu for the OS, then under the other categories they tell you about Windows software?

Think maybe the person who wrote the article got the just of Linux but hasnt actually tried it either. At least it was a positive promotion. You should see some of the feedback to that article.

People really havent got a clue. One guy said " Yes but it doesnt have WinAmp"

Oh the irony - the C|Net Ubuntu install video is sponsored by Microsoft.
