Hi all,<br>
Yesterday a computer in an internet cafe I go to crashed due to<br>
constant irritating viral infection (They run Windows here). So they<br>
asked me for an XP CD. I suggested them to install Ubuntu and they let<br>
me do it on one of the systems, and now they want more! After looking<br>
at what all comes with it without paying anything (of course they were<br>
using windows illegally). They have 256 MiB ram but ubuntu is fast<br>
enough....<br>
Now I'll be installing ubuntu on all other.. But my point of writing<br>
this mail is... How will the public who visit the cafe respond to it?<br>
But I think this is a nice way to tell people about GNU/Linux and give<br>
them their first experience, of course they'll feel this is good and<br>
try it at their place! maybe I'll ask the cafe owner to burn ubuntu<br>
for a disounted charge!<br>
They'll find it kinda wierd with the start button missing (I<br>
co\ustomised it to mimic windows tho) so i thought this can be used as<br>
a tool if we can make a beautiful documentation that shows what are<br>
analogous to windows, how to use them, where to get more help, let<br>
them know about fsm and stuff. So I initiated this git repo here to<br>
make HTML doc for the same, it is at <a href="http://github.com/ucafe.git" target="_blank">http://github.com/ucafe.git</a> you<br>
can pull/push from and to it with an ssh key.<br>
<br>
''Is there anything that will let you set an HTML file as the desktop<br>
background in ubuntu?''<br>
