I must admit that this bug is so big that probably will take a while to
solve...{if}. Anyway, as for my self, I am Italian but live in London
with my family from many years now. I have tried to source among the
people that I know or I meet regularly, surprisingly most of them have
no idea of what Linux / Ubuntu is all about.

  -- Answers I got when I asked what linux was?

1- I normally use Hotmail
2- I don't need antivirus
3- is a version of Apple

While I do believe that there is a lot of confusion and fuss about what
linux does and is, I have come to the conclusion that a great amount of
people can't even distinguish what is the difference between an
Operating System and a Web Browser. What I envision for the future of
Linux and Open source is to spread more and more in to schools and
college so that students can come across it on early stages, if you ask
the average guy of my age, [I am 40], you will see the expression of his
face changing a bit in to a question mark. At some point I have sourced
differently by going out in main shopping street and visiting computer
shops and electronics to see who and where was selling PC or Laptops
with Linux pre installed, and, a part for a few very basic linux
editions for cheap netbooks, I haven't seen anything of the flavour of
Ubuntu coming installed in brand new machines. I would like to extend
this opportunity to anyone as firmly interested as me and do it ourself.
It would be fantastic to open a shop where a client pays for the
hardware not for the software, or where a client buys a PC and a full OS
dvd is given together for backup and restore.
