Maybe, just maybe... if Ubuntu phone catches on with kids - they could [eventually] get curious if they find it can run on their desktop pooters or tablets. The councils / education authorities.... nah [says me of little faith in councillors & education committees]. Main trouble - the kids don't care - perhaps if it were called Ubuntu for Facebook or Ubuntu for Twitter, or Ubuntu for Impatient Kids ;) -- Cheers, Bill B.
