    Ubuntu on the Italian Metro newspaper and on the national newspaper

    Wow! I've just come to know that yesterday Ubuntu was on Metro in Italy. I think Metro is quite popular worlwide, so I don't need to explain what it is, and how many people read it (!!!).

    So, the article is entitled Future is "open source" and explains all the pros of open source OSS, in particular Ubuntu "the most popular and simple Linux OS".

    I think we'll have a bunch of new users coming close to Ubuntu. This is just perfect, since people are now thinking about Vista. Just the right timing to pop out a free, feature-rich alternative.

    I'll just post a picture of the article (that's what I've used to read it - too bad I don't live in Italy right now).
    I also want to quote my information source: http://batos.wordpress.com/2007/04/1...e-open-source/

    It feels really good to see Ubuntu on an ordinary popular newspaper

    Wow, ouch, I had to duck as an intercontinental ballistic chair just flew very low over my head on it's way to Italy from Redmond!

    There were some words just discernable after the sonic boom, something about burying f****n' Metro!

    But seriously, that's a great find, thanks for taking the time to tell us. I seriously hope lots of people see that magazine!

    I had to laugh at this translation, obviously because Vista is a Latin world.

    Great article btw.
