My name is Alberto Milone, I attend the 2nd level degree course “Lingue Moderne per la Comunicazione Internazionale” at the University of Lecce, where I got my 1st level degree in 2005. I was born in Turin in 1983 but I have spent most of my life in Lecce. My current interests include the study of the English language and GNU/Linux distributions, for both of which I have an insane passion.
I am particularly interested in a GNU/Linux distro called Ubuntu Linux. Ubuntu is a Debian-based distro by Canonical. According to Canonical’s webpage: “Ubuntu” is an ancient African word, meaning “humanity to others”. Ubuntu also means “I am what I am because of who we all are”. The Ubuntu Linux distribution brings the spirit of Ubuntu to the software world.
One of the pillars of Ubuntu is its Community. The Forums, the Wiki, the USDF (Ubuntu Storage Document Facility), and all their members are always ready to help you out and to show you the best way to enjoy your Ubuntu experience.
As a moderator of the English forum Ubuntuforums.org I have the pleasure to work (as a volunteer) side by side with other Staff members who ensure that the community keep up with its (in my opinion) high standards.
I am an Ubuntu member (approved by the Ubuntu Community Council) since August 22 2006.

I support your position. People are stuck with video card they have, and we need to make Linux usable for them too.
I bet many people who claim to teach *you* moral lessons never did half the usefull stuff you did. Talk is cheap.
We need more activism aimed to make companies open drivers. One of possible ways to do it I posted at DriverEducation page (link above). People shoulg get proprietary drivers if this is the only way to get PC working, but should get information what are the more open options, so next time they buy PC or card, they know better. And also we can help them to email (NVidia) with displeasure at current situation, and hint next time they buy from the competition.

Ehila’.
I have a problem with envyng and a radeon 9250 .
I’ve tried everything, but without a result.
If you have a little bit of time (difficult, I know), can you contact me on that email?
Thanks in advance.

I’m extremely grateful for EnvyNg that enabled me to reinstall an Nvidia driver which got ‘lost’ during the latest kernel update. Furthermore my thanks for the very clear instructions; without I would have been helpless.
Also, without your knowledge of English I’d have been unable to communicate with you since I’m Dutch.
