Hello,
I was not talking about Adriano, but about someone else :

If it was so easy, why isn't Linux number one now? "it just works" 
Ubuntu team does a fine fine job. Those who nit-pick about non-free
this, non-free that...go use gentoo or slack..

rbalfour"

When someone comes and say as rbalfour does 'hey! if you're not happy,
go home!' (or something looking like that) it's terribly unthought.

I've been using Ubuntu a long time, now my 6 years old son uses Xubuntu
once a while, and I've used several Linux distributions. 

I did a reminder of the free software definition as other beginners
could obviously do a confusion : the free software a free from charge
cause the code source is opened. Some software free of charge exist,
while their source code is not available. Theses are named freewares,
sharewares, and belong to the proprietary licensed software. 
Best greetings, Joyce Markoll.
