There should be an effort to come up with a list of as many different types of media conceivable and implement ways they can be used.

-packages: offer to install (already done)
-windows applications: offer to install in wine/crossover
-OS disk: offer to install software from it (if same OS) or to install into a new VritualBox/vmWare/xen container.]]> Thu, 09 Apr 2009 20:07:59 +0000
For the average joe user Ubuntu has the apps they want (with the possible exception of iTunes), web browsing, music/video players, office products.

For the smarter than average joe, like sql developers, or any developers installing virtualbox or any of the others like it should be a walk in the park.

If your work laptop is provided because your job is to work with Microsoft SQL then FFS just use windows or get your database moved to mysql.]]> Thu, 09 Apr 2009 22:12:53 +0000
