If you walk into a BestBuy this week you may spot some new software peeking out from the shelves. Yes, Ubuntu is now available as a spiffy boxed set in stores and on-line.

Linux needs more exposure, but I think at the minute the best way is still word of mouth.
Lots of people in my workplace, WinXP land, have tried Vista and have since moved to Linux.
Someone gave me a copy of Ubuntu, and it was pants.
I could not play divx's, and I use my PC for home entertainment.
I was then given PCLinuxOS. I liked that, but it seemed a bit flimsy.
I was then told to try Opensuse 11. I installed that, and my friend showed me how to enable media playback, and it is simply amazing.
I would not have persevered with Linux, without some friends showing me the way, now I am returning the favour to other people who want to try something different.
