[Ubuntu-SG] Ubuntu Users in Singapore

[Rykel™ (Aen™)]

Pals,

Another angle to consider is that none of the Linux companies or users
is bringing as much tax revenues to our country as Microsoft. Someone
correct me if I am wrong.

And to reinforce an earlier post on this thread, gamers are aplenty in
Singapore and no way are they going to play tournaments on Cedega, to
my knowledge.

Btw does anyone need a Linux salesperson or trainer? I can offer my
time to help since there seems to be a lack of these...

Enjoy!
