Personally I can handle it, and I agree absolutely about windows (not used Mac) - for me windows was something I could never trust and caused a lot of worry. That why I use Linux. Linux added 10 years to my life! However my point was that since I am in the voluntary 'business' of active advocacy, I am aware that if novices install (Ubuntu) and then need support, they will not get it yet from a Friend or Family Member (FOFM) as they currently do using windows - except me! and my skill is spread pretty thin. So I can see myself possibly holding back and not encouraging some of my contacts into Ubuntu, because from what I know (about them) they will have no support. (FOFM). My expectation is that this will change with time, soon I hope. -- Kubuntu user#10391 -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.kubuntu.org/UKTeam/
