[Bug 1] Hotel Aranjuez, San Juan Costa Rica

2011-03-21 Thread Paul Flint
Greetings,

Imagine my surprise that when I arrive in Costa Rica, the public terminals 
at the Hotel Aranjuez (http://www.hotelaranjuez.com/) are running Maverick 
Meerkat.

Could it be that these terminals using Ubuntu are easier to maintain?

I will talk to their techie tomorrow...

Expect a full report,  BTW excellent hotel besides...

Kindest Regards,

Of course. Windows Update is a joke.

 Bug description:
  Microsoft has a majority market share in the new desktop PC marketplace.
  This is a bug, which Ubuntu is designed to fix.

  Non-free software is holding back innovation in the IT industry,
  restricting access to IT to a small part of the world's population and
  limiting the ability of software developers to reach their full
  potential, globally. This bug is widely evident in the PC industry.

  Steps to repeat:

  1. Visit a local PC store.

  What happens:
  2. Observe that a majority of PCs for sale have non-free software
 pre-installed.
  3. Observe very few PCs with Ubuntu and free software pre-installed.

  What should happen:
  1. A majority of the PCs for sale should include only free software like
 Ubuntu.
  2. Ubuntu should be marketed in a way such that its amazing features and
 benefits would be apparent and known by all.
  3. The system shall become more and more user friendly as time passes.

Re: [Bug 1] Hotel Aranjuez, San Juan Costa Rica

Would be nice if developers only had to support Linux (unfortunately; not 
enough people use Linux yet, especially for commercial applications). It's a 
lot better than trying to run 5 different OSs at once to test for 
compatibility with different operating systems (I try to make my software 
work on Windows 7, Ubuntu Linux, Windows XP, Windows Phone 7, and Gentoo 
Linux).
