My dad is a Linux user

,----[ Quote ]
| Yesterday, I installed Linux Mint on my 
| dad's laptop. With the exception of a 
| couple of bits of poorly supported 
| hardware, the installation went without a 
| hitch. I think my dad was genuinely pleased 
| with his new Linux installation and he 
| commented that it was definitely faster 
| than the old Windows XP installation, he 
| added that he thought it looked fairly easy 
| to use too.

More FUD about GNU/Linux Popularity

,----[ Quote ]
| These are just more trash statistics 
| telling the world or at least anyone who 
| wants to listen that GNU/Linux is not 
| relevant. Real statistics with pedigree 
| showed that GNU/Linux surpassed MacOS share 
| back in 2003 and has not looked back.

Grandpa Gets a Dell with Ubuntu Linux Preinstalled

| I'm very happy with my computer. I feel the price was reasonable, and the 
| service was good. In fact, Dell appears to have gone to the "Scotty school of 
| engineering" -- project how long you expect a project to take, then double 
| the time. Then, when you come in under that time, you look like a whiz.
