[ubuntu-us-in] Gutsy Release Party

[Robert]

If I could run M$ Streets and Trips through WINE, I would switch over 
myself, but I get lost too much and need a good nav program. I have my 
laptop setup as a dual boot. I seldom run Ubuntu on it, but run Gutsy 
pre release on a home computer and have everyone using it. I am really 
liking it. 7.10 is the first version to date that I think could be 
really used by the masses. We may be putting together a public access 
bank of PCs and I want to run all UBUNTU 7.10 on them. I think we will 
have more control and less cleanup then M$ Windows (any version). Helped 
out in an IT department in a seminary and we had to constantly clean up 
whatever anyone wanted to install. It was a hassle.

I also have a friend who sells a lot of used computers. I am going to 
help him get some setup with UBUNTU and XUBUNTU for sale. I think they 
will sell. Only problem is that he doesn't know much about linux and I 
will become the default tech support. The sacrifices never cease to help 
bring Linux to the masses. ;-)

BTW, I have been lurking for about 6-8 months. Guess I am not anymore. 
Might go back to lurking, though.
