The more users there are of Ubuntu the more that hardware and software vendors will take notice. The result of that is that devices will be more likely to be delivered with Linux support out of the box. In addition software vendors will look at the market share Ubuntu (Linux) has and decide that it's worth porting applications to Linux, or open sourcing them, or writing them from scratch or using tools like WINE to bring their apps to the users. > Who do you expect to be interested enough to even give Ubuntu a try? > Anyone who either has yet to use a computer, or someone who already has some computer experience. i.e. pretty much anyone. > What is your personal motive in all this activity to produce a leaflet? > See answer to first question. > How, why and when did you start using Ubuntu and which operating system > were you using before conversion? > I moved to Ubuntu when the first release came out.

I have lectured in IT, have given talks at my local LUG, answered support questions on the answer tracker, helped via IRC, assisted in real life. I guess that all helps. -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.kubuntu.org/UKTeam/
