Thanks for getting this up there for us non-yanks.. I strongly agree on every topic (in spite of not always wanting to )…

Hell, you even made me want to donate money, hope others felt the same after this, good job

I wanted to watch this, but the camera work is obnoxious. Just put the speaker and the slides in frame and leave it alone. Stop zooming in and out. Stop moving back and forth. If you have to pan do it SLOWLY. The shakiness is the worst part… was a tripod out of the budget?

Linux needs games? Well, this is a classic tale of what comes first, the chicken or the egg.
Meaning, YOU NEED A GAME DESIGNER FIRST, before you get a game, just saying. I think ASCI's RM2K3, XP, or VX, actually are Linux ready, but don't qoute me on this. OR have Linux have it's own original Game Designer, it can be done, if you just make a quick, cheap, Pixel based system, it would work.

Of course you realize that the games themselves have to be ported to Linux too, not only the sales platform. Neither CoD nor Assassin's Creed will magically start working on Linux, its up to the publisher to decide if they want to invest money in a port.

No doubt about that, but Steam is a good first step. And I 'll add that the GPU drivers must improve a lot to handle such cutting-edge games.

My band did our album with Ardour http://www.myspace.com/thehaloblue And we used Audacity for wav editing.

“Make money off Linux”, I think the presenter is forgetting the reason Linux was introduced in the first place.  Just as America was created; because, of persecution of one’s beliefs.  So too, was Linux created; because, of the stranglehold the proprietary distributors had on the consumer.

Until Ubuntu, Linux was never about a massive user base.  Rather, it is an alternative to Windows and Apple.
