You so rarely get to see people actually happy about installing operating systems, but that’s one of the things about Linux — you stick in a disk and suddenly an old crappy computer running Windows ME is a real powerhouse. The video shows a librarian in Washington, Vermont installing Ubuntu. With the zydeco background music, her palpable excitement, and the fact that they make pee pee on a Windows logo at the end, I think this is the perfect anti-FUD tool for convincing the powers that be to stop whining about desktop Linux.
