If the person has never used Ubuntu (or Linux for that matter) in the past, a
dual-boot would have been a better route. People cannot migrate overnight.
They want to; they truly believe they can, but it's impulsive. Data
migration and customisation may take a while. That said, if the person in
question still had a /single/ XP licence, then /ALL/ is fine.
Great advocacy job, Gordon. I have given out Ubuntu CD's myself (while at
work). Usually, it was frustrated customers who were fed up with Windows and
its plethora of problems (not just security).
Best wishes,
Roy
