Another convert to Free and Open Software

One of the guys in the office where I work is a true capitalist. He says he pays for software because it keeps the economy going. I can kind of see his argument, but my take is “why should I pay if I don’t have to?”.

I’ve had a wodge of Ubuntu CDs on my desk for a while. The collection has grown to include Kubuntu, Xubuntu, Edubuntu and The Open CD.

My collegue has been complaining that his installation of Word/Excel and Outlook has become somehow screwed up. It’s likely with a little work he could fix it, but I really don’t want to offer help in that area. I do my best to avoid supporting Windows wherever possible if I don’t have to, it’s just too time consuming.
