Vista works on about the same hardware as Ubuntu/Kubuntu, if you disable
the eye candy...

OEM licenses for Vista probably won't cost much more than 50 euro for
large PC manufacturers (Dell, HP, ...).

As mentioned several times already, we have a paid (sponsored) booth at
VLOD (which is very expensive BTW).

Please coordinate with the people already working on this!

The VLOD sponsor also gives us hardware for use during VLOD.

Is it known when this book will be written, edited (& rewritten),
printed & then in the shops?

Folks, there already is an Ubuntu-be site, which needs a lot of
improvement, but that won't happen if everybody sets up their own
private Ubuntu site...


It's really nice that you guys want to do all this work, but please
coordinate with the already existing work being done inside ubuntu-be.
We don't want to do the same thing twice!
