It is wonderful that an Ubuntu Live CD will (probably) run on most hardware I can come accross in my travels, and offer an instant demonstration on. To be able to do this, unfortunately, it has to contain some bianary blobs, which I dislike. But I do like the looks of amazement on spectator's faces. I also note with interest the recent news from Broadcom about their producing an open source wireless driver. I also recently saw a big boxed all in one Lexmark printer in Tescos which actually had a TUX symbol alongside other OS symbols and the words 'Linux' included. I know the smoke and mirrors crowd assert we only have 1 percent share, but whatever, it is obviously punching well above its weight! The biggest one percent you have ever seen. -- alan cocks Ubuntu user -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/
