[Bug 1] Bugfix in pre-alpha stage in Poland

[rysiek]

Just letting you know that we have a bugfix (albeit in pre-alpha stage right now) here in Poland. Here's the deal:
quite a lot of users in Poland usually buys their boxen in computer shops, where they are able to pick every single component to their liking; or they have their machines assembled by a friend, so the problem of so-called "Windows-tax" is not that apparent.
Unfortunately, for those users who prefer buying their machines in big department stores, there was always only one way - the Windows way. Well, "was" is the right word here, as for quite some time we are observing growing Linux availability on the laptop market - almost all major laptop distributors have Linux-based laptops in their stock nowadays; AND just a month ago or so one large supermarket network (Carrefour) and one huge electronic market network (MediaMarkt) both introduced Linux (Mandriva, but I can live with that ;) ) based desktop computers.
And they are actually advertising them, so that a John Doe has the possibility to get informed that there is something called "Linux"...

It's big, I can tell you that, as most of the people here simply don't
know about Linux. And when they get to know - believe me, it's fantastic
how many of them make the switch.

So, just to sum-up, we're in pre-alpha with this patch here.

Cheers and keep spreading the word ;)
