Value

Some at my new workplace have questioned the value of Linux in a non-public computing environment. (In case you missed it, I work for Userful which primarily sells Fedora-based multiheaded computers into libraries)

To any who question the value of the Linux desktop and Ubuntu's committment to free and open source software, I give you my brother, who says this:

• Inkscape produced that CUPE logo in the bottom of the pdf I sent you, converted from a tiff from the CUPE website - $0
  
• OOo2 did the basic text layout - $0
  
• Scribus produced the actual layout and the PDF - $0
  
• Doing things that would take thousands of dollars on a Windows machine - priceless
  

Ubuntu Quicktour
Thanks to the effort of Daniel Robitaille, the quicktour is now finished. Get it now! As I am likely to be moving into a more marketing-driven position in the near future at my job, I have decided to give the quicktour up to the young and eager hands of the new Ubuntu marketing team. I expect them to do great things in the near future.
