BHSPitMonkeyas in, have your dept. chair explain to MY uni's department chair why ubuntu can work for us too :)01:50
BHSPitMonkeyI should see about having it distributed at the bookstore, like Win and Mac are.01:51
desertcI'd be happy to talk with them.  I called upon them to see how they were doing.  Wanted to do some marketing in my local community.01:51
BHSPitMonkeyrather, I should bring that up at the next lug meeting...01:52
desertcGive me some contact information and I'll set up a call.01:52

BHSPitMonkeywhat's your university, so that I may cite your efforts?01:53

michaelrammmorning Alan!13:58
michaelrammi read about that yesterday13:58
michaelrammMy walmart will have them!13:59
michaelrammAlso mentioned here: http://urltea.com/1yew14:02
michaelrammMy favorite line: "The funniest thing is that Everex deliberately built a large box, even though there's not much under the hood. This is a pure psychological play to woo the pickup truck set, who believe a Chevy S10 is a sure sign of sexual inadequacy."14:03

DGMurdockIIIis tthere any devs in here19:40
DGMurdockIIIor let me make this simple19:41
DGMurdockIIIhere is somthing i thnk would help make get more people to install ubuntu if they could have a UI that look like windows xp or vista one or even there max os look and the other think i thnk would help is the the explores was like the one in windows19:44
tonyyarussoDGMurdockIII: You realize that would be a) sure to anger every existing user, b) severely limiting in the power of the UI, and c) Illegal, right?19:48
DGMurdockIIIwhat i mean is when you install ubuntu you give them the option to install gnome, KDE or one that lok like windows and you have a picture showw what they all look like19:50
tonyyarussoYou can't do that.19:55
tonyyarussoIt wouldn't be legal, nor reasonable.19:55
