I don't like this idea. The reason why is because you are trying to get people to evangelizing it to people for whom it may not work. See the link in my sig "Don't preach Linux, mention it" for what I mean.

you didn't read what he said

it seems your mind is set to think that everyone who wants to promote ubuntu is a preacher or spammer

hes talking about mentioning Ubuntu in the signature.

search ubuntu in the signaturebar website and you get something like this:

Hm, if i saw someone with a ubuntu sig (or apple, windows, whatever) on a gaming forum for example, i would assume that he is a preacher. Who on earth promotes a operating system on a totally unrelated forum?
There may be a use for such a sig, but i havent found one yet.

I've tried it, didn't work out so well.

I did read what he said, but I was talking about the second portion, where he talks about sending in letters to the editor and stuff about Ubuntu. Sorry about not being clear on that. :(

again, its free advertising.

this will help raise awareness and gain us potential users.
