Welcome to the happy consumer eager to adopt the latest Ubuntu Karma, 
which as it happens, is none other than Karmic Koala, the Ubuntu which 
has a Eucalyptus flavoured desktop. Amazing 2 GB Cloud Storage as 
standard, expansion fitted to your needs.

No need to wait while Windows 7 downloads, we'll send you a CD with 
Ubuntu 10.4 direct.

Of if you want to try our Release Candidate, now is the time to start 
downloading.


Bet I can grab a dozen happy consumers, who are disgruntled with Vista 
and nothing but Vista.

Try something different. This is the Revolution, join a thriving 
community of computer-neers.

We have Pioneered the Linux based Operating System, which Google wants 
to use for its Chrome OS.

It could take years before Chrome OS reaches the level of support we 
have for just about any device.



Isn't that what Ubuntu is about?

You can put Karmic Koala on just about anything. Runs in 250MB memory, 
but a graphic card is recommended if you wish to take advantage of 
Compiz Gnome, Desktop of the Future, how Desktops ought be

ADVERT

Insert of Karmic Koala going through its paces.

AD GUY: And you thought clicking Windows was easy?

Wait to you see how easy Ubuntu can change to suit your needs.

CONVERT: So you saying, if I pay you some extra $$$$, you'll get rid of 
Microsoft for me?

AD MAN: No maam, the Ubuntu installer does this for FREE.
