Dear fellow Ubunteros,
   
  I have been using Ubuntu for more than a year now and its only that I am being persecuted by the office for damaging the office-issued laptop because I run ubuntu in it. 
   
  Its a Dell Latitude C840 laptop and the problem is that the LCD went dead, on power up it turns to washed out white screen. It has the same issue also when its running in Windows. Then they send to Dell for repair and now its happen again. The office refused to send to Dell service center again because according to them I damaged it because I am using Ubuntu and not Windows.
   
  This is a Microsoft-centric office and its very easy for the organization to blame Linux in general as damaging to PCs. I have been running Ubuntu and other FOSS applications to show them that there is an alternative to buying sinful software licenses. 
   
  We are a development organization, helping poor island communities and we have spend more than 300,000 pesos just for software licenses when that money can go a long way for facilitating development activities in poor communities. 
   
  Can I just ask some help how to argue myself that or how to go about it that Ubuntu or any Linux did not cause the damage to the LCD of this laptop? 
   
  Wilson
