We will be more focus on Ubuntu Operating System and what is the 
default software they got. Plus, what more they can do with their 
Ubuntu. Here's my suggestion on what we are going to show the visitors.

1. Easy File Management

---------------------------------------
  The basic feature of an operating system is file management. We can 
show how easy and open to use Nautilus to manage their files.  
  Mounting local and network files seemlesly in ubuntu and use them as 
if they are in their ubuntu pc. Show them how easy to mount SFTP, FTP, 
SAMBA directory from Nautilus.


  MSWindows user should admit they couldn't get those powerful symbolic 
link [ $ ln -s yourfile ] stuff in their expensive OS.


2. Network / Internet Connection
-------------------------------------------------

  The other thing that people may concern is how they can use ubuntu 
with internet. We can show the standard Firefox browser for surfing, 
watching streaming video (e.g youtube) and more.

  For networking, we should show
 on how easy to share files with other 
computer using samba, and maybe the powerful & quick trick on [ $ 
python -m SimpleHTTPServer ] command.


  Apart from that, some visitor may expect to see on how to connect 
ubuntu to internet using their mobile phone (3g connection) or their 3g 
Dongle (huawei, alcatel, yadayada)

  Remote desktop connection, vino or vnc from other pc and to other pc 
would be an added value. Even more on how we could control the default 
windowsXP pc (via RDPv5 protocol) from ubuntu.


  Using Pidgin and x-chat is another attraction in network/internet 
part. we can even show on how they can connect, chat and hang around 
with other ubuntu fans around malaysia using pidgin and x-chat via 
irc.freenode.net on #ubuntu-my (instead of just to get help and free 
support)


  Secure SSH tunneling howto would be a plus. we can show them how to 
secure and tunnel any internet/network communication they use from 
ubuntu using tsocks and ssh. SFTP protocol would also great too!!


3. Desktop customization and effects

---------------------------------------------------------
  This part would be the attractive part where we could show them on 
how easy to customize their Ubuntu desktop to suit their personality. 
Changing wallpaper, sounds, and theme. Plus, how to install and 
configure compiz, 3d desktop cube, and those eye catchy and eye candies 
effects.





4. Music, Video and Entertainment
-----------------------------------------------------
  This part, we can show on how easy to listen to mp3, ogg and watching 
videos, VCD, DVD, downloaded FLV or even 3gp. Video editing using Kino 
as simple as ABC. Sound Editing, ripping ... all those multimedia stuff 
are enjoyables in ubuntu and all are LEGALLY FREE!!



5. Photo editing, graphic and desktop publishing (DTP)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
-------------
  No one can resist when they know the Inkscape and the GIMP. No free 
software yet can beat the easy desktop publishing using Scribus. Not 
only for home use but even for commercial and professional usage. I 
already prove this by sending some artworks created in these open 
source software which already been published on newspaper and magazines.



6. Programming
-------------------------
  What the heck is the "Source" part in "Open Source" if you can't do 
programming in ubuntu? LOL. Just show them how beautiful the code and 
how easy to tweak some part of the OS using the code without even need 
to recompile (just find some python-gtk stuff part in ubuntu and show 
em) ... That's the power of open source... :D



7. Office and Presentation
----------------------------------------
  Everybody know the power of OpenOffice.org Word Processor, 
Spreadsheet, Presentation, Draw


8. Electronic & Robotic Design

----------
-------------------------------------
  PCB design, schematic drawing, 3D design, technical drawing like 
gEDA, PCB, gWave, gnucap and more. Those electronics and Radioshack 
junkies couldn't be more happier to find all those stuff freely via 
sudo apt-get install ...



9. Architecture & Construction
-----------------------------------------------
  In a developing country, there are lots of the people in architecture 
and construction industry. Hey, there are lots of freebies for them. 
Beginning from QCad, to 3D tools like Blender, K-3D and more. They 
should be fascinate with all these tools that they can use without 
facing any software licences problems.



10. More More More...
--------------------------------
  There are more... games, ERP (welcome Mr. Frans!!), accounting, 
webserver, torrentflux, NAS, hacking,  yada yada... that makes everyone 
enjoy using ubuntu all day long. Feel free to add your own spices and 
sauces !!


I have proven that teacher, lawyer, doctor, marine engineer, 
technician, and even a retired(pension) army are more happy using 
ubuntu. They are all my family, friends and clients.

That's all for now (a bit tired to write more.. need to continue 
working... hahaha)
