[Tfug] ubuntu

[Tony]

One of the young guys at work today was talking with another co worker.
He had picked up a used computer with a system on it called ubuntu. Both 
said they had never heard of it before. He told the other that it wasn't 
as nice as windows, but it worked pretty good. The co worker said just 
install windows.  The young guy said no . It does what I want it to do 
just not as easy and he was going to use it. This is from a total newbie 
to computers. Do you know how hard it was to keep from busting out 
laughing! They had been talking about needing to buy an antivirus and 
firewall and so I told him he already had both available for ubuntu by 
just downloading and installing them and explained how to do it through 
add/remove. Time will tell in his case, if we have another convert.
