Simple pre-installed and pre-configured Debian/KDE computers for new users
Good morning dear debian developers
I was made aware of Debian Publicity by Paul Wise on the Debian project
mailing list where I informed the Debian project about my attempt to sell with
Debian and KDE softwrae pre-installed and pre-configured computers to new
users. For more information see the press annoucement at the bottom of this
mail.
Two weeks ago I sent a first request of inclusion on
http://www.debian.org/distrib/pre-installed and today the second.
And the reason why I write you is that I would be nice if you could write
something about my project in your next press or news annoucement? So if there
are any questions don't hesitate to ask!
Oh and please CC: as I'm not subscribed to this Debian mailing list.
Thanks and kind regards

Finally you can order a simple, robust and free computer system with pre-
installed and pre-configured programs. Never was it easier to enter into the
world of computers. Simply order, unpack, connect and kick off. The pre-
installed KDE software on the universal operating system from Debian offers
you an intuitive and safe system for fun, studying, creativity and work.
Starting from Monday 15th of August 2011 you can order one of the three
following models:
- Elephant: a robust notebook, that really does it all
- Rose: a netbook, with power for more than 9 hours
- Apricot: a mini-computer, thrifty in power consumption and disappearing
behind the screen
The pre-installed KDE software provides programs to read and write e-mails and
as well as for the administration of contacts and dates. Further programs make
it possible to create letters and texts, to work with numbers and tables and
to create presentations for friends or the company.
What's more, the fun and creativity in school, in everyday life or in the
company doesn't get a raw deal. On your new computer you will find educational
software for different topics, a selection of games and programs for video
cutting, painting and drawing and for the simple grabbing of pictures and
small movies.
Likewise we support you with the management and enjoyment of your music and
video collections. There is another pre-installed program ready to help you
keep track of your finances.
With every device we also deliver a personalized printed manual which
introduces you in a simple and intuitive way to the work and fun with your new
computer. But of course we don't leave you alone with the start into a new
world or with problems. Each device includes three help requests. To this end
we will help you via email to solve your problem. Afterwards, you can get
simple and inexpensive further help.
In times of climate change we watch for environment-friendly packings, the
printing of the manual and documents and further green materials. This
complements in a perfect way the selection of computers which consume less
power and use less space.
Starting with the first three models we are going to upgrade our offer with
tablet computers, media centers, servers and selected services in the next
months. Of course we are watching the IT market tracing new trends and
including them in our offers after thorough tests. It's well possible that
you'll soon find a mobile phone with KDE software on our website.
By buying one of our computer models you are supporting the free software
projects KDE and Debian. Five Euro of each bought device got to each KDE and
Debian.

About Debian:
Debian is a free operating system (OS) for your computer. An operating system
is the set of basic programs and utilities that make your computer run. Debian
uses the Linux kernel (the core of an operating system), but most of the basic
OS tools come from the GNU project; hence the name GNU/Linux.
Debian GNU/Linux provides more than a pure OS: it comes with over 29000
packages, precompiled software bundled up in a nice format for easy
installation on your machine.
