I'd love to join you all for a "bug jam" for either/both, SAt./ Sun.(Onanygiven date) at the Pembury, I am willing/flexible in terms of time, but fear that i will be of limited use thee as I am not a natural "command line" communicator. However would love the chance to be a "shadow" to someone who is, in order todevelop my "command line Experience". Would there be space /patience / tolerance for one such as me?

Hi James - Great job on trying to persuade the parents! On parents I always use the "No Viruses" approach -and highlighted how much money she (my mother) would save on buying anti-virus products. Then installed Extreme-Tux-Racer, and she's never looked back (I'll point out she's a mega novice, and when recommending it to her friends, refers to viruses as "pop-ups") On Tue, 2008-07-29 at 13:15 +0100, James Milligan wrote: > it signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.org/UKTeam/

I've been using Ubuntu mainly on Virtual machines for the past year, and really liked them (but obviously can't experience the full potential...). I used the LiveCD to show my Dad what it is like, and he quite liked it, but was worrying about it crashing the computer, and therefore messing everything up. I've shown him one of the guides on the internet about dual-booting (http://apcmag.com/how_to_dualboot_vista_with_linux_vista_installed_first.ht m) but he still wasn't keen - what can I persuade him with?
