"I'm going to try and install it, Seth, but if it don't work out like then we'll go up Roger Wilkins for some zider" "Try *or* Install" would probably be a better heading for what is on the actual page.

This would be better: *Installing Linux* Installing Linux is easy, here are some hints to get you started. Try is a nasty word, it presupposes failure ;-) I'm not really in favour of having the section "Why not Windows?". IMHO, we should be concentrating on "why Linux", not "why not ". Linux has plenty of merit to allow it to stand up on its own. Everything in the "Windows" section could do with being in the "Linux" section instead. Lack of restrictions, choice, source code and freedom are all core benefits of FOSS. It's a great, simple site though, and I hope it gets better and has more publicity.

Benjamin, A little late on this, but browsing through the site something popped out to me on this page below which has the heading "Try to Install". http://www.getgnulinux.org/switch_to_linux/ Paraphrasing Yoda, "do or do not, there is no try". I may just be a pessimist but "try" suggests failure. Using neutral "Installing Linux" or "Setting up your computer" makes it sound like it'll be easier - and makes it more likely people will try! Other than that very nice, keep up the good work. Martin -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.kubuntu.org/UKTeam/
