Ubuntu 9.04 For the Windows Power User
crazipper writes "Know a Windows power user who is (honestly) good with technology, but hasn't yet warmed to Linux? Tom's Hardware just posted a guide to installing and using Ubuntu 9.04, written specifically for the MS crowd (in other words, it talks about file systems, mount points, app installation, etc). Hopefully, by the end, your 'friend' will realize just how easy Ubuntu can be to use and start down a long path of exploration with a new operating system."
In this case the author tried to pass himself off as a "Windows Power User", but most Windows users like myself will see through this bullshit.

Actually, you're the one that's accomplished that for yourself. I just thought it was rather funny - such a high end mouse tacked onto a netbook.
I wish I had a post to moderate you off-topic.
*Waits to get moderated off-topic*
It's not off topic. There is no topic in the original post...

If you like Lego bricks why not use some true Legos? Far funnier, plus nothing beats Star Wars Legos. Few kids could ever afford that *amazingly cool* 400 bucks new Death Star!!! :D
