I've not usually bothered using a mail client (other than for work), but given the advent of IMAP for Gmail, I've been trying out evolution. It seems pretty cool. My only gripe is that its harder to follow a thread on the mailing list with it. Is there a away to make it group messages together int

I have been following this item with great interest and believe that all the comments made have been reasonable and apposite. However, while I can understand the desire to see Ubuntu more upfront than it is, I have to put the question why not? Surely the main thrust must come from Canonical and, if

I have to admit I thought about this before, I think we do need to mention where you can get a PC preloaded with it, and Dell seems to be the best option, but also mention the whole try, live cd, wont screw up windows thing. On 10/28/07, Darren Mansell <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > I'm thinking

Re: [ubuntu-uk] Ubuntu TV Advert

I like the idea, and think that it'd be better coming from a hardware vendor, like Dell, rather than direct from Ubuntu on TV. I don't think that market saturation within the UK has got anywhere near the limits where terms that we are familiar with, such as Linux, Ubuntu, Live CD, Free/Open sou

Re: [ubuntu-uk] Ubuntu TV Advert

Surely someone must have a contact in tv or a tv show? Wouldn’t it be better to do something jointly with dell or someone and promote it on a breakfast show or a gadget show, they might well be interested in it, once that is done it could be followed up a lot easier by radio and papers so greatly

Re: [ubuntu-uk] Ubuntu TV Advert

Hey-ho I think a TV Advert is a great idea, but it is an extremely expensive outing! I would imagine it would cost upwards of £100k to get an advert on the regular 5 for a decent period of time. That's not including costs of other things such as the production of it, supporting elements such as a

[ubuntu-uk] Ubuntu TV Advert

I'm thinking now is about the right time to really introduce the uninitiated to Ubuntu. We are at about critical mass where software and hardware companies can't just ignore Linux so lets take it a step further. I think the majority of people will have heard Ubuntu either subliminally or consc
