I finally started to personalize my Ubuntu setup on my laptop (appearence, splashscreen, etc) and showed my wife how to. Previously she was ambivalent towards Ubuntu v Windows, using Ubuntu as her primary OS because of security. Now that she her pretty blue Crux theme, ant light screen saver, and purple icons going she says Ubuntu is the way to go.

Women.

That's cool...I would try to do the same, but I except I have no wife to convince :lolflag:

I haven't tried to get anyone to switch to Linux as of yet, but I wonder if I would be able to.

My g/f couldn't care less - I was going to install Ubuntu for her when XP broke for the millionth time - but after a few hours I managed to get it to work again so she didn't have a need to move - I've thought about refusing to fix windows but I'm too much of a push over.

I think that wont earn you any Brownie points. It should be: "Pretty wife converts Ubuntu".

I converted by husband and father to Ubuntu. Husband liked that it just worked, dad liked the shiny.

Men.

I generally don't use a glass anymore. Hands work. :D

Men are very useful. Life wouldn't be much fun without them.
