Unfortunate Ubuntu media coverage

[Abidel Bassie-Cripps]

Hello gang!

I'm new to this group. I'm an inspiring Linux fan. 

Bottom line, I can not see Dell, Ubuntu or Version all or separately being the issue. They are all to big to be putting themselve is bad press. I put it back on a person that doesn't have ambition, drive, etc to get on with her life, school etc.

Regards!
Abidel

Or bad press for Dell or bad press for Verizon.
