This is where promoting how much the linux apps have come on is important. I'm with you popey. A good well produced piece of literature is far better accepted than just saying it's good. I think aswell it will be a good idea to promote the open cd programs so people can try them on windows and say "this is good I wonder what the rest of the software is like?" -- Seek That Thy Might Know -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.kubuntu.org/UKTeam/
