At Calef Library, in Washington, Vermont, Jessamyn Charity West, created a video of installing Ubuntu on donated computers. Since the computers came with no licenses for Windows, Jessamyn records the process of burning an ISO of Ubuntu and overwriting Windows. On camera, she demonstrates how Ubuntu is instantly useful to library users since it comes with OpenOffice and Gaim pre-installed. See the video at http://www.librarian.net/stax/2042/do-you-ubuntu/.

I went open source in August after thinking about it for a year or so and have been very happy with the results *and* my own learning process. Very pleased that your results are equally positive. My first computer was an iMac running 8.6, which was upgraded to OSX along with some extra memory. It really ran fine for basic surfing and document creation, although anyone running a graphic-heavy program would be unhappy. I'd be more than happy to bring it up to Vermont (hey neighbor!) and then you CAN be a triple-platform library. My husband attended Goddard College for a Master's program and we live over in NYS, by Oneonta. It's a genuine proposal and I hope you'll think about it (email was registered with this post) Found your library-ubuntu install video “out there” as I was doing some research of my own for my Ubuntu system.
