I am 40-ish and just completed my first Ubuntu installation. I actally got some 5.4 disks from ship-it but gave them all away. I downloaded 6.10 and this time I installed it. Great to work with. What i really want to say is that i admire you, i stayed from work to see the launch when you went to the ISS and you made us all so proud. I agree and support the idea of open source, esp Ubuntu and am am now a "Ubuntu Evangelist" I buy up old computers for friends, family and those who cannot afford it, obviouly now it will be loaded with Ubuntu! I also informally give computers lessons to people who cannot find work, guess what, i will introduce them to Open Office, even though they are more likely to use MS Office in the work enviroment.
