Made 3 more people convert to Linux!

Post by Judland » Mon Apr 04, 2005 7:08 pm

A few weeks ago I had three sales from my website all in a time-span of about 12 hours. Very odd, but it was nice.

Recently I sent my regular follow-up e-mails to make sure everyone was happy.

Well, the response was nothing less than glowing! All three people e-mailed me back within hours, telling me how impressed they were with the Kanotix distros I sold to them.

One person, who was going to try a dual-boot system with his existing XP install e-mailed me and said that after trying Kanotix over the weekend, he decided to simply wipe his hard drive and do away with XP all together.

He's so happy with Linux and impressed with how easy Kanotix was for him to pick up. He says that the hard drive he bought (which was going to house Kanotix originally) has all of his media files copied over from his old C: drive, before he wiped it out, and they all work flawlessly with his new Linux OS.

Spreading such joy throughout the world is such gratifying work. :D

Thats what we like to hear Judland!!

We're on our way boys!
Linux World domination :D

I often get that first initial great response but then they find out kids games they have on CD or games altogether dont run (either not at all or badly) and then start finding other things they didn't realise wouldn't run and .... :(

Oh well we're getting there ! :)

So far, the people I've been working with (helping them getting a Linux desktop) don't seem all that interested in gaming.

However, every once and a while I enjoy a good game, and there are some great games out there for Linux. They're not advertised, like what you find for MS-Windows (but what Linux applications are?).

The most recent cool find for me is http://www.darwinia.co.uk/ I downloaded the Darwinia demo over the weekend. Very creative.
