Ubuntu doesn't need a TV advert, for the simple reason that the genera public don't know what an Operating System is. The *only* way to run that campaign would be "reinvigorate your old PC by having your local tech monkey install Ubuntu on it!" which doesn't exactly have the lasting impression most would like. Ubuntu works because of it's community. You can do far better showing people Ubuntu (at an Install Day, when they see your laptop, when their Windows machine dies and you have to help them etc) than a TV advertisement ever would help. Incidentally, the same goes for: Radio adverts Billboards a la Google Chrome Sponsoring events Merchandise "left" in various places The list goes on...

if you know what fixed it for you it would be really good to

I also have a problem with Dapper, it being that it doesn't boot. At
all. The only fix I can do is to do
mkinitrd blah blah blah
I presume it's a fault with udev, but I can't source the bug. I've
appended my info to a current bug, but no-one appears to have any
answers :S
I'd be willing to leave my machine with a kernel geek for a while,
but I don't know of any Ubuntu hackers in my area.
It's annoying, because I really do want to help, but I just don't
have the expertise to fix it :S
All I know is that mkinitramfs doesn't work, mkinitrd does, and the
only difference between the two is one is for udev, one is for devfs.
And that irritates me, as my system works beautifully without this
issue.
Rargh.
