The need to Ubuntize people!
,----[ Quote ]
| Anyway, my conclusion here is that people is starting
| to realize that there are other alternatives than just
| sticking with one operating system, and that the best
| thing of all is that they wonât have viruses. However,
| they are really not aware that Linux exists. This
| clearly shows that thereâs a huge market were Linux,
| and specially Ubuntu, can kick in, becauseâ they are
| paying companies for virus free solutions, such as Mac,
| while they are not aware that this is not their only
| solution.. From my point of viewâ most of these people
| only uses their computers to edit documents, listen to
| music, and browsing the Internetâ and this is something
| that they could do with Ubuntuâ without a problem! So,
| letâs start Ubuntizing people!!

Ubuntu OS can Save Energy
,----[ Quote ]
| The point I would like to drive home with this blog
| post is that E-waste is a HUGE problem in our society.
| And I would highly recommend anyone view a documentary
| called "Manufactured Landscape" to learn more about
| what I am talking about. We can all do simple things,
| but please remember that when you throw electronics
| away, that YOU are contributing to the decline of our
| environment. Their are recycling centers everywhere
| that will help recycle your old electronics and in some
| cases re-use them as well.

| The Green Party has slammed Microsoft and it's forthcoming operating
| system, Windows Vista, in a withering attack on the company's "monopoly".

|
| The party claims that "Vista gives Microsoft the ability to lock
| you out of your computer," and that "Microsoft are determined not
| to play fair" in the video content market.
