Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: 4.0.3

Hi :)
On the space station it's only the laptops that are going to have Gnu&Linux put on them.  All the 
command&control systems are already Gnu&Linux.  I was listening to one of the ground-crew giving 
instructions on what to type in and it was roughly like
"ls", "LS, it says ... roger"
"cd ..", "cd ..., err nothing happened, roger"
"That's ok.  it shouldn't have said anything" "[sigh of relief]"

and then a command that my network administrator had emailed to me for me to do on our network!!  
:)))

About 80% desktop machines here have Xp, the other 20% have Win7.  All have Ubuntu.  So do they 
count as Window machines or Gnu&Linux when they have both?  2/3 servers have Debian (including the 
firewall box), 1/3 is Windows Exchange (that's the noisy one that keeps weirding out).  The Routers 
and switches seem to use a Linux.  Most hand-helds are Android, couple Blackberry, couple iThings, 
1 Windows phone.  

All counts are unreliable.  Most are paid-for research with MS paying the bill.  If a machine is 
bought with Windows on it and the Windows gets wiped and replaced by Gnu&Linux then that gets 
counted as a Windows machine by pretty much all researchers.  Hence Bug1 in Ubuntu.  
Regards from 
Tom :)
