Story: Ubuntu details plans for 'Jaunty Jackalope'
Culinary habits or the Microsoft Combo ...
... I have about 1 year ago given up my long habit of just ordering the "Microsoft Combo" and adopted Ubuntu Linux. I will admit there was a learning curve to break this habit but now that am free I think it was well worth it.
I think that Ubuntu is good enough now and will continue to get better. But, I think some thinking about giving Ubuntu some traction is what is in order. Specifically, I think something be it advertising, mentoring, selling desktops fully configured with Ubuntu, etc or some thinking way out of the norm needs to be done to get more people interested in trying Linux. Vista has been a real help as I know many folks who are asking to "upgrade" to XP. The more venturesome ones, I recommend Ubuntu. We need more learning support for Ubuntu. How about something along the lines of "active support" say where you posture a question in chat mode and let the active online Ubuntu community chime in with ideas and solutions?
Ubuntu is ready -- what we need is to help our converts to use Ubuntu.
Just my humble opinion,
Carl
