Kanpur and Lucknow computer dealers - who have for years been selling
proprietary operating systems are suddenly realizing that they
themselves know very little about Ubuntu Linux operating system for
desktops. On top of that, they have not invested in teaching their own
support staff how to install Ubuntu or Kubuntu on customer laptops and
desktops - that is customers who want to work with the best legal
operating system already available in the markets. Many of these
computer dealers have not even found the time to read the installation
instructions from the Ubuntu website - www.ubuntu.com
Naturally these assembled computer dealers associations in Kanpur and
Lucknow feel that first they have to learn Ubuntu themselves - and
then - they have to teach their staff how to install Ubuntu or Kubuntu
in one hour. What a bother. Learning Linux is sooo painful.
So it seems that intelligent Linux savvy school children will now have
to teach these outdated computer dealers and hardware box vendors the
fine points of Ubuntu Linux installation on laptops and desktops. One
wonders when the computer assemblers will start giving themselves a
crash course in Ubuntu and Linux so that they can install it on their
customer computers in just one hour.
But go and see the home computers of children in Kanpur and Lucknow
from schools such as Methodist, Jaipuria DPS, Christ Church - these
kids know much more about the ease of Ubuntu installations than these
hardware vendors - many of whom do not even have free CD to give to
the customer just in case the customer tells them just to quote them a
price for the hardware box. Many customers are deciding it is best to
arrange Ubuntu CD themselves. Maybe Computer Science departments of
top colleges will start distributing Ubuntu free also. For after all
if children can install Ubuntu from CD by themselves, so can
customers. And then maybe finally the staff of the hardware vendors
will also learn how to install Ubuntu.
Many children of course prefer Kubuntu Desktop version because the KDE
desktop is better to look at for those who only know how to send
emails and chat on the Internet.
And last, the computer dealers will themselves shyly one afternoon
decide to learn it themselves.
