If someone asks you to sudo rm -rf anything, don't do it, and don't run any command with rm in it unless you know exactly what you're doing.things i have learnt changing from Xp pro to Ubuntu

He gives the OS a brief run down and gives a pretty good reason as to why he doesn't like it. What happens? He gets attacked by rabid linux users. Points out that they are attacking him, and they do it anyways. I'm surprised I didn't see him called a Microsoft shill or plant.

Chocolate-Covered Ubuntu Beans
Is the video available anywhere in a venue that doesn't require me to have broke proprietary software such as flash installed.. a Silverlight or html5 Ogg Theora version or a similar download e.g. would be perfect.

the article has made it into the most watched list this morning.

I'm pleased that Ubuntu is getting some mainstream exposure but also pleased we're not seeing 'Ubuntu launch party' style marketing!!

The BBC correspondent seemed to not be aware of the larger variety of programs offered by open source. Personally I don't know a line of code and this has never been a problem. It seemed as if he had tried to use Ubuntu with proprietary software held by Apple like Itunes. Heck I use several open source programs on the Xp that came on my net-book like vlc and ccleaner. Xp runs so slow compared to the linux even with 2 GiB of ram and the Atom chip.

I normally stick with LTS only but 9.10 looks really good from that very brief overview - I'll be upgrading the two house desktops.

Tea Glorious Tea!
It appears that the BBC seems to giving Ubuntu quite a bit of coverage.

Dipped in Ubuntu
I didn't watch the video (I'm with gnomeuser's dislike of flash...), The article itself is quite positive of Ubuntu. And this time, we weren't on a stupid blog page which only the converted will read! We're on the BBC news most read!

It's not code, it's an interface for running programs.
He's obviously never called an ISP for technical support - the first thing they get you to do is run "ping" and "ipconfig" in an MS-DOS prompt.
I try to treat the cause, not the symptom. I avoid the terminal in instructions, unless it's easier or necessary. My instructions will work within the Ubuntu system, instead of breaking or subverting it. Those are the three guarantees to the helpee.
