Sure if we can convince people to switch from Ubuntu to openSUSE its fine, but the real question is, how on earth do we convert the billions if dissatisfied windows users to seriously consider making the switch? I talk about the ease of software installation - rather than hunting through sites for the software just a tick on the box and click install. I take about the security and the idea that by seperating Data from OS and using strong passwords you don't strictly need anti virus software and as such openSUSE can really truly make their computers run fast. Further I talk about the ability to upgrade their computers for free, not just system updates but every application can be updated or even upgraded ie from 11.3 o 11.4. With the launch of 11.4 imminent how can we make this the biggest uptake ever for linux newbies. For people at large. There are youtube videos, facebook pages and such but i don't see people biting our hands off to take up openSUSE. I am interested to here suggestions on what we can do to dramatically increase to uptake of openSUSE from the masses. -- Kind Regards Stuart Tanner Bolton Linux 24 Vincent Street Bolton BL1 4SA Tel: +44(0)1204 410474 Mob: +44(0)7868 028028 www.bolin.org.uk Distributing openSUSE in the UK Registered Linux User: 529825 Coming soon to the CIS Market @ http://опенсусе.рф/ -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+help@opensuse.org
