If we could get more donations and a larger ad campaign, I say "sure". I was just hoping to ride on the pioneering efforts of companies like Dell, Asus, Everex, and various others who chose Ubuntu as their Desktop distribution of choice for some reason or another. I am not biased toward a 100% Ubuntu ad, as I have used various flavors of Linux over the years including Gentoo/RH/Fedora/SuSE/Mandrake/Debian and some other obscure distros no one remembers. Either way, the point of the ad was to give a URL as say to normal Americans -- "hey, try this it. We think it's cool and so do 10 million other people around the world". You know, something along those lines. Or maybe we could do a more interesting angle. "Google, Youtube, Ebay, and Amazon all use Linux. Now bring the power of their systems into your home with the Ubuntu Linux Operating System." -- Kristian Erik Hermansen -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean. _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [hidden email] http://lists.blu.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss
