[Opensource] OT opoen source windows replacement

[Roland Gesthuizen]

I have been really pleased with Ubuntu but if it is old hardware that you
are running this on or just some light powered applications, why not try out
Kbuntu. www.kubuntu.org

We are going to have a hands on play with some of these at the VITTA
conference.

Regards Roland
