That's an interseting idea! Does it work? Do many people express an interest in converting? I have a computer like that in the kitchen (all the eye candy, Atlantis, etc) - I use it as a testing server, and the eye candy is just to joke around with friends - for example writing spooky messages on the screen in fire writing to greet them when they come to visit, and setting it up as a snow globe over Christmas. My friends think it's cool, but they haven't been motivated to install it themselves yet. -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/
