:) Thanks for the welcomes.
I have had feedback (on a leaflet of mine) suggesting that for
real windows-only users, a FOSS leaflet by itself would be
useful. The first stage concept for them is - Open Source
software - is free and can be good quality - and there is a

It's a common trick to fit a EuroPlug into a UK socket. This comes up
when you run short of the appropriate type of kettle lead :-)
The preferred method of doing it is as follows:
- Take N-way mains adaptor
- Remove N-way mains adaptor from mains
- Insert flat-head
I just noticed a comment on the official Dell blog:
In this morning's Linux Live Expert Forum session, John Hull confirmed
that we do plan to offer Linux on the client side in additional
locations outside the United States. More details to come later this
summer. That's something that we continue
the Sell Linux PCs Worldwide from user ergo has been the top idea for a
few weeks now, and I've received hundreds of comments on Direct2Dell
about the same thing.
Ah, so it seems it might be worth holding off on buying new laptops
for a couple of months then!

Alan i like your leaflets a lot. They are very informational and I
think we should definitely base the FOSS leaflet on the one you just
