Very Good. Excellent.
I like the 9th point very much. It is really very good and important for every GNU/Linux user.
Actually we all GNU/Linux users have to continious revise our goals and basic principles of GNU/Linux. Which really help us in all area. This is my personal experience.
Lets hope that Every children learn open source from their childhood, to make their future more secure and enjoyable.
God helps them.
Thanks & Regards,

It is true Ashis, but I had to do it since I’m fooling all my family to use Ubuntu, so I have to make up the whole thing to look like linux
so sometimes I think it’s good to recreate windows

TLX, maybe to look like Windows
As long as you don’t transform Linux into a 32bit DOS (like chmod -R 777 / or stuff like this) it’s OK.

This may not be revelant but i figured i’d post this anyway. If you’re using ubuntu 8.10 you may be in for some issues with the network manager. For some unknown reason it stops functioning. You will need to manually set you’re resolv.conf with your ISP’s DNS servers. That file is located in /etc/network/resolv.conf
