This is a very good point. I must admit, this is a very hard obstacle to overcome. However, Linux's downfall is also one of its positive points. It is highly customizeable. In my opinion, we should try to advertise one distrobution, say Kubuntu, but at the same time, make people aware that with Linux, many options are availible. The fortunate thing with Linux, as opposed to Cornish, is that the multiple versions can coexist - trying to advertise Kubuntu for example will not have an adverse effect on other strains of Linux. --Ben Webb -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.kubuntu.org/UKTeam/
