as you want.

Um, lame brain, you saying it's a lie doesn't make it one. It only
reveals how afraid you are of Ubuntu that you feel you have to lie.

So what? Millions take cocaine but that doesn't mean it's good for you.
Billions eat at McDonald's but that doesn't mean it's good for you. In
short, user share is meaningless as has been explained to you over and

It might be for you. For me it's currently five at home and eleven at the
loacal library (public access internet computers). Of course you also
save by not having to buy $1000 worth of software to make it functional.
