Over the top. Thought you were joking. But no that is what it means ! And in essence seems to mean VTI (via the Internet) or NAA (nothing at all)

Smells like a shit idea.

Your right. I've installed Linuxmint on many family and friends computers over the last few years because I convinced them it would do what they want. Browse the web. Listen to music. View photos. Send email.
Part of the deal was a higher level of (free!) support from me with the Linux install. Windows installs only come with save documents and reinstall support (still free !).
Often I've setup dual boots for the unconvinced or gamers but encouraged them to give Linux a good go. In almost all cases Linux has become the preferred OS and I been asked to delete the windows partition to free up drive space. Apart from games most windows software works under wine, games are far more hardware dependant for success.
I've been using Linux personally since about 1996-97 (I remember that kde was first released soon after my first install) and it used to require some effort. Now it just works most off the time.

But, I don't stay just for the games. I stay because using GNU/Linux means the largest selection of open source software available in the universe. For me GNU/Linux is stable and reliable and Window is still like an aborted fetus on the Metro interface.

Fixed that for you.

You hope

Desktop: Redhat-> Suse-> Linux from Scratch-> Gentoo-> Kubuntu -> Linux Mint (kde).

Server: Debian >Centos & KVM hypervisor with Ubuntu or Debian images.

Linux from scratch used to be good for learning how Linux works. I have not checked it out for a long time so I don't know if this still holds.

You might be, you might not. If you hadn't posted AC there would be no doubt.

In the UK any small ltd company is going to have to provide director guarantees to get loans from a bank. If the business goes under they will come for your house etc. This does not, as far as I am aware, happen in big corporations. Wheres the cutoff. Don't know but I'm not near it.

They should have called it CubaLibreOffice.

My experience with this is ATI cards don't handle it at all well. Maybe better now ?
Nvidia cards work better but only with the closed driver. And only runs at DX8.1 I think. Playable but I boot to windows.

Mod parent up insightful.

Language evolves. The use of "Ain't" in English is far more complex than thou attest.

Girl of four died in sat-nav error crash in Blackrod

Too many people blindly follow these things. There's a ford a few miles from me that is impassable for much of the year if not in a Land Rover etc. After heavy rain only a big tractor could make it.
Yet every year the fire service pulls out 6 - 10 cars whose drivers followed their Sat Navs instructions to pass through it. There is a easily visible water depth gauge.

What ?
