Thanks again for putting this together, I’ll be sure to send you “action shots” of this in use after I get them printed this week, and then from the Linux Picnic itself where I’ll be displaying a couple of them!
One more
… and crazy names
A typo in point 4, I think :
“accessable user support” -> “accessible user support”
Nice art.
Can i put this on my blog ?
if yes, send me a mail.
thanks.
I wish we’d stop calling these events “Linux _____”. I know the good intentions are there, but why not have an Ubuntu picnic? The L word again.
Randall: I didn’t use the L word once did I?
Having an Ubuntu Picnic would be lovely, but the Linux Picnic that I’m referring to is in it’s 19th year (quite a bit older than Ubuntu!). Ubuntu California has a few tables there, along with Fedora tables and several tables for other local Linux groups.
Agreed on all counts, best distro for beginners to power users, it lets you do it all. Also the most effective way to get a non Linux person interested in Linux.
What on earth is a ‘default’?
I know what it means, you know what it means, but an Ubuntu newbie doesn’t. “Selecting the the best defaults available” means nothing to them. It needs rewording.
Other than that, it is looking pretty cool.
A couple of other minor issues (in addition to the typo Bertrand pointed out):
1) “web integration”, not “intergration”
2) “…is much more secure…” than what? If you don’t want to explicitly say it’s more secure than Windows, it should at least say something like, “…is much more secure from viruses and attacks than many commercial systems.”
Jimbo: I’ll ask some newbies what they think, collect the data and then make a decision. I’m not saying your wrong, just that I don’t believe commoners are that stupid to not understand the definition of default. Now if I’d have called it a recipe or composition. heh.
MarkC: Nice catch on the first, disagree with the second.
I guess I’m just not a fan of null comparatives (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparative#Null_comparative). When I read a line like that I find myself wondering if it’s more secure than Windows, more secure than the previous release, more secure than a Commodore 64…
Another alternative would be to lose the comparative clause altogether and change it to something like “… is extremely secure from viruses and attacks.”
It’s very nice!
You only have to pay attention to the right margine of the test, that’s different from one to another.
And mayby I could traslate it in italian…
