Getting my old man into Ubuntu.

My father is a hardcore PC gamer, he doesn't know much about operating systems and stuff. He uses XP on his PC and he sticks with it because he knows how bad Vista is. He now knows that GNU/Linux is awesome and he wants to try it.

Today I introduced him to Ubuntu Linux, he was mesmerized. I was very impressed by his reaction, I just popped up the Live Disc on his PC and then the Wubi installer came up, I told him about Wubi and how awesome it is for newbies. Then I restarted the PC to show him how Live Discs work. Since he was working on his GPU Drivers before I told him that Ubuntu finds and recommends drivers automatically trough System > Administration > Hardware Drivers. I checked for drivers and then it appeared. He was blown away! Cool huh!

I told him, I won't install it because you only use your PC for gaming and casual Internet Browsing. He told me to install it, he insisted me to install it! So I did it on Wubi now my father is a new Linux user.

I'll keep up on him, since he wants to use to learn Linux step by step, so that means I'll teach him Ubuntu. The cool fact is that we are going to spend more time toghether thank's to Ubuntu ( Ubuntu = Humanity to others) . Cool stuff, right?
