Given this hypothetical person who has no clue on how to download and burn something... Do you really think he's magically gonna have a clue on how to install Ubuntu?????
news flash!
It is easier to load Linux Ubuntu almost unattended then MS' XP.
It asks you about 5 questions on the normal install,
main one that comes to mind is what type of human interface device your using (ie) standard US Keyboard,
so to reply to your statement .. no offense but Ubuntu is pretty easy to install or even run from the disc.
I am not a Software genius by any means
I am a certified computer tech and found that Linux is more friendly to my free hardware I get from clients upgrading from older machines that MS wont support with their latest bloat-ware monopoly.
I think its awesome that a free OS like Ubuntu is available.
ONE IMPORTANT FACT $1 buys you any of Ubuntu's supported software,
I even got a few stickers along with one of the DVD's I mailed for
they will send you 32bit(on CD) 64bit(on DVD) or you can order mass quantities for educational purposes or to give to clients [assuming you work on your friends and families machines]
I am not advertising Ubuntu
Simply stating that for a buck they will mail you a Disc (CD or DVD) of quite a few flavors of their OS Edubuntu Kubuntu and Ubuntu IDK how they can give this stuff away like that but I do think retailers selling it at 20% markup is a bit wrong but if it gets the OS into more peoples hands and we overcome the mindset of MS's monopoly more companys will make POSIX friendly games and suites so I wont have to crack MS so often to make my latest fragfest enjoyable on a screaming machine thats not bloated down with billy g's crapware
May OPENSOURCE be the Industry Standard!
