Someone Tries to Sell Ubuntu GNOME Linux OS on Craigslist for $30

[Patrik Bubák]

"This Not Windows But It runs smooth. More Like Apple mac os x Type. Linux Operating System. Just Boot from Start Up Screen Or Desktop." - who the heck wrote this sentence? An elementary school drop out?



I think you guys fail to see the point that this person might solely be doing it for their own good.



Just look at the grammar. Do you honestly think they might actually be doing the community a service by "spreading the word" this way? Without a proper product presentation the one offering this doesn't sound like an honest entity.



If I were to profit from offering any kind of services involving UG I would definitely make it look professional, not posting one sentence as written by Tarzan.




Nothing ruins creativity like too many voices weighing in. We call it the Ice Cream Principle. Tell 10 people to go get ice cream with one condition: they all have to agree on one flavour. That flavour is going to be chocolate or vanilla every time. Groups of people don't agree on what's cool or interesting, they agree on what's easy to agree on.

Hi everyone,



I found this tweet on Twitter:

The article:

Here is the ad:

http://fayetteville.craigslist.org/sys/5040249435.html



When you click on "Reply" and tell the website that you're not a bot/machine, you'll get the number of the person who published that ad 29 days ago!



Could someone who lives in USA to contact that person and understand what is going on?!



As a person who respects privacy, I am not going to publish his/her number here on a public mailing list.



I'll be waiting for someone's reply to this :)



Thank you!













@Keith

Can you give him/her a call, please?
