Do you want brown or blue?

[grethe at bek.no]

I am the kind of user that has no technical skills, it is the first time I
install Ubuntu (or even Linux) and would not want to get the question
during the install, simply because I would not know what this question was
about.

But after having Ubuntu installed, I would lurk around on the machine to
check out how the system works. Somewhere I would find "Ubuntu-looks"
perhabs, and here the preconfigured Ubuntu-look: "Mrs.Brown","Mrs.Blue",
"Mrs.Red", etc. as options and I would try them all out, and then try to
make my own look (Mrs. Melby), realising that it takes a little to much
work to get all the colors to fit together nicely, (It is a reason why
people take bachelors and masters in design) and then I would probably
choose one of the preconfigured choice. After a while I would have a joke
among my friends, wich eventually also become Ubuntu users, discussing
"What´s with the Mrs. Browns, and is it better to be Mrs. Blue?"  We might
even organize soccer-matches.

I would do that if the preconfigured colors were brown the first time,
simply because I would not be used to it. If it was blue, I would not
thinkt to much about it, since the socialized color preferences in the
computer field for some reason is blue.
