I did this with my friends and family as I gave them Ubuntu distributions first so that they could get used to using a different OS period. As time has gone on I have slowly weaned them off of Ubuntu to Trisquel.
I don't agree with this. I was a huge Ubuntu advocate until recently. I stopped doing what you suggest as it would backfire to me frequently, and people would ask many questions about Canonical's recent decisions. It didn't matter if I agreed or not, this introduced a far more negative impression, and implied I should explain the rationale (and incoherence) of such decisions. I have now switched to using primarily Trisquel (version 6) and Debian. It makes more sense to make a bit more effort to have properly supported hardware, contribute to Gnome, get friendly help here (including not being blasted when I make a choice based on my ethics), etc. F. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.11 (GNU/Linux) Comment: PGP/Mime available upon request Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://www.enigmail.net/ iEYEARECAAYFAlEWjmEACgkQfUcTXFrypNUfpwCfeXB44XeTnkQ+hcJeK6UaucWa azwAn3IdEpT0usLPUKKoRmWoFgrv3cZx =qr9+ -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
