If we could get more donations and a larger ad campaign, I say "sure". 
 I was just hoping to ride on the pioneering efforts of companies like 
Dell, Asus, Everex, and various others who chose Ubuntu as their 
Desktop distribution of choice for some reason or another.  I am not 
biased toward a 100% Ubuntu ad, as I have used various flavors of 
Linux over the years including Gentoo/RH/Fedora/SuSE/Mandrake/Debian 
and some other obscure distros no one remembers.  Either way, the 
point of the ad was to give a URL as say to normal Americans -- "hey, 
try this it.  We think it's cool and so do 10 million other people 
around the world".  You know, something along those lines. 

Or maybe we could do a more interesting angle.  "Google, Youtube, 
Ebay, and Amazon all use Linux.  Now bring the power of their systems 
into your home with the Ubuntu Linux Operating System."
