Linux Commerical + More


Yeah its sorta old, but I'm posting it any way.

Click to watch (takes to YouTube)

I regularly fix peoples computers, I put ad's in the paper for it. I charge a flat 20 bucks + parts but most give me a large tip (I'm 16 so 20 bucks + tips for easy work is good). My favorite CD is Knoppix Live CD. I always use it when doing a repair and I always keep extra copies with me to give to the customers because when they watch me do my thing they ask about the OS I was using. I naturally explain It is a Linux "version" called Knoppix & It's easy to use ETC. One person called me back and told me to build him a cheap new computer for his son and install Linux on it so he doesn't have to pay 100 dollars for an OS which requires a lot of maintenance (I tell the truth). I got pretty excited when I saw that commercial on YT. Hope you all did too if you haven't seen it yet.

I hope Linux gets really popular now that Microsopht & Novell are sorta partners. Any one have some more info on that?

Heh, wrong forum. Can someone move this to General, not Linux General.

Did you "Report" your post using the report button? Just click on it and type that you put it in the wrong spot. The mods will see that much quicker than they'll see a response in the thread.

Closing, we already covered this commercial in past thread in General ages ago. Try to search and contribute to those instead of starting new threads.
