I’m all out…

I’ve given them all way. Today I gave out my last Ubuntu disc set. That makes about ~260 Ubuntu discs that I’ve given out since about Decem­ber last year. 50 easily dis­ap­peared one night at out LUG, another 40 were given to the Street Theatre one night when mum and I ushered, 100 were dis­trib­uted in show bags at the Uni­ver­sity of Canberra’s opening day, and the rest were dis­trib­uted here and there. I always carried at least 4 with me where-​ever I went so when­ever the oppor­tu­nity arose during some computer-​talk I showed them around and most of the time they were wel­comed and people were inter­ested.

Helped a few of the people that I gave out discs to as well with various Ubuntu-​related ques­tions. Did a few installs, helped people with GNOME here and there. Actu­ally I did my latest Ubuntu install just last night on a laptop which belongs to the Chinese lady staying with us who is study­ing at one of the local uni­verisi­ties. Ubuntu dual booted with Windows XP. Thus far she really likes it. I give her a month and then she’ll want to get one of my Ubuntu lozenge stick­ers to glue to her laptop cover. ;)

So, yea. Lots of fun. Horrah for Ubuntu!

Edit: While on about Ubuntu, just saw Flight 4 takes off! This fea­tures a new installer, graph­i­cal actu­ally and even allows users to install Ubuntu from the livecd like in other live distros such as Simply MEPIS. Kick ass!
