Gerry Carr, marketing manager at Canonical, has confirmed that the rate of return appears to be higher than average. There are still some questions about what manufacturers, what distributions, and most of all what figures are actually involved. Carr highlighted a few reasons why Ubuntu-running netbooks are returned more often. "Unclear selling is happening, typically online. The customer will get their netbook sent to their home, and they expect to find something like a Microsoft desktop, but they see a brown Ubuntu version.” Carr stressed that, in these cases, it doesn’t matter how good, or bad the Linux OS is. These customers just don’t want to try something new.

These voting machines have been used in Brazil since 1996, and are rugged, self-sufficient low-spec PCs. Technical details about this Linux deployment and implementation are available elsewhere (and more will come, for sure), but I thought it would be interesting to show some pictures and a movie - shown at the source link below - of Linux booting on these voting machines, so I asked for official permission (thank you, TRE/SC!), and was helped by a technician while I took some quick pictures and made a small movie showing the boot process.

A hedge fund investor who prided himself on achieving 1000% returns, Andrew Lahde, wrote a goodbye letter to mark his departure from the financial world. In it, he suggests people think about building a new government model, and his suggestion is to have someone like George Soros fund a new government that brings together the best and brightest minds in a manner where they're not tempted by bribery. In doing so, he refers to how Linux grows and competes with Microsoft. An open source government. How would such a system work, and could it succeed? How long before it became corrupt? Would it need a benevolent dictator? Source: slashdot.org FULL CIRCLE NEEDS YOU! A magazine isn't a magazine without articles and Full Circle is no exception.

The successful introduction of the open source office suite came despite the group's download servers being temporarily overwhelmed by demand for the new software last week. Only 221,000 downloads by Linux users were recorded, leading John McCreesh, head of marketing for OpenOffice.org, to suggest a massive undercount. McCreesh said 90% of Linux users traditionally receive OpenOffice.org updates straight from their Linux distribution's vendor, which would explain the relatively low Linux count. With the undercount included, OpenOffice.org 3.0 may already be installed on up to 5 million computers worldwide, McCreesh said in a blog post.
