Anyone here qualified to install Lubuntu?

[Unleash PC]

I am failing to understand what your agurment is, sure its provided free, but canonical doesn't install it on your machine for you... when they start coming to your house or your start taking to their shop to have them professionaly install ubuntu for free. then your argument makes sense.

and don't respond with the argument well people can install it themselves... people can also install windows but a lot of them don't they take it to a shop and they reinstall it.
