[17:47] <Troll_Man> hello 
[17:48] <ubuntu-bd> hello
[17:49] <ubuntu-bd> surprisingly troll is the most lively creature here :P
[17:49] <Troll_Man> :D 
[17:50] <Troll_Man> i use ubuntu alot, figured id see what yall talk about in here
[17:50] <Troll_Man> the support channel is special :X 
[17:50] <ubuntu-bd> :)
[17:51] <ubuntu-bd> basically this channel is dead man's land.... with occational update.. and ideas
[17:51] <Troll_Man> ahhh 
[17:51] <Troll_Man> well then 
[17:51] <ubuntu-bd> though those ideas are great to listen...
[17:51] <Troll_Man> thats terrible 
[17:51] <Troll_Man> i dont know what i have in the way of new ideas 
[17:51] <Troll_Man> other then i replace every installation of windows i can manage to with ubuntu 
[17:51] <ubuntu-bd> though people are actually working seperately.. with their communities or with their own groups...
[17:52] <Troll_Man> im in the va channel 
[17:52] <ubuntu-bd> yah that's how to start :)
[17:52] <Troll_Man> i gots an idea actualy 
[17:52] <ubuntu-bd> shoot :)
[17:52] <Troll_Man> how about some stickers with a catchy slogan on em, like "this pc rescued from *windows logo* by ubuntu 
[17:53] <Troll_Man> slap em on the puters 
[17:53] <Troll_Man> surely theres some better wording 
[17:53] <ubuntu-bd> nice :)
[17:53] <Troll_Man> my customers could give a shit and people will see & ask, wtf is that? 
[17:53] <ubuntu-bd> btw what do you do (just to get idea)
[17:54] <ubuntu-bd> humm yes these are the idea..
[17:54] <Troll_Man> on-site support anything IT 
[17:54] <ubuntu-bd> or why not "it read get windows xp or better so I install Ubuntu)
[17:54] <Troll_Man> at home to med business 
[17:54] <Troll_Man> bingo! 
[17:54] <ubuntu-bd> *"it read requires windows xp or better so I installed Ubuntu)
[17:55] <Troll_Man> hehehe 
[17:55] <ubuntu-bd> not a "innovative" but still will do the work
[17:55] <Troll_Man> yep 
[17:55] <Troll_Man> iv ehad real good luck converting people 
[17:55] <Troll_Man> i describe the interface as somewhere between a crapintosh and windows 
[17:55] <Troll_Man> and they can understand that 
[17:55] <Troll_Man> make them write down a list of what needs to work before i start 
[17:55] <Troll_Man> i make those things work 
[17:56] <ubuntu-bd> yah that's really critical..
[17:56] <Troll_Man> def 
[17:56] <Troll_Man> its not wondows 
[17:56] <Troll_Man> err windows 
[17:56] <Troll_Man> its not going to run all windows apps 
[17:56] <ubuntu-bd> in most cases people are just handing over cd and a guide to how to install.. but that's not all...
[17:56] <Troll_Man> biggest hurdle i have converting alotta my biz customers is quickbooks 
[17:56] <ubuntu-bd> sometimes need to customize the system to get close to the need
[17:57] <ubuntu-bd> humm what is it?
[17:57] <Troll_Man> quickbooks? 
[17:57] <ubuntu-bd> (I'm an marketing student so perdon me if I don't know anything)
[17:57] <Troll_Man> ahhh 
[17:57] <Troll_Man> its a software package for managing finances 
[17:57] <ubuntu-bd> ok got the answer :)
[17:57] <ubuntu-bd> google power
[17:58] <Troll_Man> most of my small to med biz customers use it 
[17:58] <Troll_Man> client wont run under wine 
[17:58] <ubuntu-bd> that is nice.. we are still on more traditional mean.. handbook :P
[17:58] <Troll_Man> server side however works fine and ive switched most of my customers to linux serverside altho most of them not ubuntu 
[17:58] <Troll_Man> alotta em are and have been redhat for a lonnnng time
