I never said such a thing. I’m a big fan of Ubuntu but that’s over the top.
Link or it didn’t happen. ;-)

Ya think? ;) < grin > OK. We have a resident troll here who does believe it was about the distro.

You’d be hard pressed to find anyone more computer illiterate than I in FR. It just struck a chord when I saw the word “ubuntu.” I thought that Clinton had said “ubutu”, but was able to find the above link and just couldn’t help myself.
For a cranky, old man...this is what passes for humor.

From what I’ve read this Ubuntu doesn’t even come out of the box with a functional DVD due to legalities? But it costs the same (actually MORE did you say?) than Windows? LMAO!

Naa he will hope on and have a conniption fit and for the most part will be ignored (oh I long for a filter)

But it costs the same (actually MORE did you say?) than Windows? And how much does that Windows box cost once you buy the applications you need for it to do anything useful?
