I don't think "doing it solely for your own good" contradicts doing
something that might be of benefit to some others, as if you have to
take the interests of those others into account before you start
doing something.<br>
<br>
The highest good anyone can does for himself or herself is also the
highest good for everyone else. You don't have to take into
consideration all of the interests for all of the other parties
before you start doing your thing. That aside, probably doing
someone a service, thinking that the product might be of use to
someone, is good enough in itself.<br>
<br>
But I don't think the person is trying to sell a copy of Ubuntu
Gnome, as the other author mentioned. I think the person is trying
to sell a complete system that has Ubuntu Gnome installed on it, and
actually the wording is so bad that you can't distinguish between
the two.<br>
<br>
I think the best service you can do to this person is to help him
clarify what he wants to sell, but that aside, it's not like there's
a monumental problem here; the guy wrote a bad ad.<br>
<br>
There are people selling copies of Ubuntu Linux (and other
derivatives or distributions) and I know there is one in the
Netherlands and he is actually doing a service to people who cannot
download or burn themselves. There are also people I believe on
Amazon or Similar in the USA doing the same thing. You buy a small
package for a small price, usually around $8 or $10, and you get a
DVD sent to you.<br>
<br>
You can end up in situations in life where the simple means of
burning a disc yourself can be unavailable to you.<br>
<br>
Then having a DVD sent to you is a real help.<br>
<br>

<div>I think you guys fail to see the point that this person might

<div>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.<br>
