Re: [ubuntu-marketing] Introducing a community based PC vendor.

Hi Ronnie,

I think it is a great idea and wish you all the best with it. I know how 
you feel; we also get sometimes negative feedback on making money from 
Ubuntu. But most people see it as a positive thing that pre-installed 
Ubuntu systems are available at the market. And as long as you go by the 
rules, you should not be bothered about some negative feedback. You 
can't make everyone happy :-)

Well I thumbed up your site on Stumble Upon, so go for it..

 There is love in there, there is trust, and there are feelings. Buntfu is
 a word that describes being human – how you relate to your neighbor, how
 you relate to the person sitting next to you, how you feel for that
 person.

 We felt this name should be everyones approach when setting up a computer
 running GNU/Linux and selling it here. As a buyer if this idea is followed
 by a seller you should feel confident that you will be getting their very
 best work.

 Buntfu.com is a community based computer vendor. Our definition of that
 means:

 1. Anyone can list their inventory of GNU/Linux based computers on our
 auction style store.

 2. Everyones system listed is preconfigured with a complete GNU/Linux
 desktop or server OS.

 3. Placing and fulfilling custom order systems can be achieved using the
 wanted area of our site.

 4. Together we can provide support for and find help through our community
 based support forums.

 5. Our advertising, popularity and success depends on all of us, our
 support and the systems we offer.


 Buntfu will always be free of charge. You do not pay any site fees or
 closing cost fees to buy or sell your GNU/Linux based computer. You can
 use and share information on our forums with or without registering to
 Buntfu.

 Our preferred GNU/Linux distribution is Ubuntu and its family, primarily
 for ease of use, most free support, large community, OS recognition and
 frequent updates.

2008-03-13 Thread Rubén Hubuntu
honestly Ubuntu is different because of 2 things:

1. It's community (Who ROCKS!)

2. Its aim on been viable (which means also commercially)

Buntfu has both and although I may not use it, I think it is a great
way to contribute to the ubuntu enviroment.

Keep up your work!
