No one at the installfests do that... simply because the people turning
up what to be converted...

Makes you wonder why we dont get more people saying they will come to
the fest to help, because the people turning up actually want to get
changed....

Most of the time it seams, from what I am seeing, people will moan about
people who currently use windows, but when a user asks for help on the
list, there are only a few people (Bearing in mind we have ~250 users)
who actually try to help, and a buch of others just hijack the post..
and the question is never answered..

Not a good thing for new people trying to use linux.

Is all I am saying! :)
