[Ubuntu-BD] FOSS & Ubuntu in Bangladesh

[Shabab Mustafa]

@Mohammad Mukhtaruzzaman,

Please, don't take anything personally but I found your point of
arguments are rather more hypothetical than practical. Just think it
for a moment. Have you ever heard about distros named Caixa Mágica,
Salix, Zentyle, Nachos, PAIPIX, Hacao or Vyatta? I am sure not only
you, more than 95% members of this mailing list, who are already Linux
users, are not familiar with these names.

Now how about distros like, Ubuntu, Fedora, Opensuse, Linux Mint,
Debian, RetHat or CentOS? Most of the users are familiar with this
names and usages.

So, how a newbie can be lost on something they are not even concerned about?

When I got toothache, I go to a dentist. When I need to sew my old
shoes, I find for a cobbler. If I need to go somewhere new, I go to
the bus stand and ask the counterman, "I want go 'this place', which
bus goes there?" And when a newbie want to try a Linux distro, s/he
asks for advice from an existing Linux user. Even if they search in
Google for that, it is highly unlikely that s/he ends up with some
distro called 'VLOS' or 'UTUTO'.

Newbies may feel lost after installing a distro, not when choosing it.
