Ubuntu for teh win

A story from PEI. *Note: This story will contain references to my geekiness. Parents with young children may be advised to turn their faces away.
So we were at the Visitor Information Centre in Charlottetown and they had some computers set up with free access to the internet. I went over to check my email. Of the 3 computers 2 appeared to be running Windows XP, but the third looked different. I took a closer look and too my glee I saw it was running Ubuntu! (Ubuntu is a distro of linux, and quite a good one at that). So I checked my email and everything worked great and I felt quite pleased with the world. But then came the best part. My brother was using one of the other computers and was trying to access Facebook. It wasn't working. I went to the Facebook website on the ubuntu computer and it worked great! Victorious!
Later on I saw a couple of older ladies trying to use the ubuntu computer and seeming to have trouble. I thought they should have a good experience with it so I came over to see if I could assist them. They told me they were trying to get to an address. Unfortunately they had open a text editing program (not so useful for internet access.) I started firefox and showed them where they could enter the address. However the ladies didn't seem to be quite up on the whole internet thing as one entered her email address into the browser bar. Since it was hotmail I helped out by taking them to the hotmail website and letting them know they could put the username and password in and then get their mail. Unfortunately they had no idea what the password was. Oh well. 1 out of 2 is pretty good.
