ubuntu-ca Digest, Vol 8, Issue 5

[Allen Graham]

To All:
Daniel has made an excellent point !
Did you know that Canadians are somewhat behind the rest of the world in
using Linux?
Most of my friends look on Linux as something subversive or worse. Recently
I've had a little succes in promoting Ubuntu's "Live CD", and have offered
the "Live DVD" to a few friends.
Could we start with an "aware" group. It's one thing to promote, yet another
to do something really helpfull.
Suggestions ? Lin - Ubu - aware (oh, that's sooo bad)
Allen
