Performance shock

[Ed Sutherland]

Ubuntu is amazingly practical for many people around the world; there's 
no arguing that. As we praise the possibilities of Ubuntu and Linux, 
let's just not do so with blinders. Such a concept of accepting 
differences is quite Ubuntuesqe.

I people in third world countries that are trying to run bussines and buying all the products that they need is just impolsible. their computers are not obsolete, but they cannot run windows XP and all the stuff they need in 128 RAM. in the other had they tried ubuntu and installed XFCE instead of gnome and things are just so much better and fater for the. For us windows with open source application might be fine, but ubuntu distribution can really help others. Also in the time that I had linux I have run it for about two weeks with only one crash and I did not have to reboot I only neede to restat my X server.
