No, the context was like this.

The users needed to install latex, but TexLive is the best.

I had *buntu CDs with me.
I always make it a point to mention "apart from the security and virus
problems, windows is spyware. US probably looks at everything you do
(prophetic)".

It is easy to install and run Kile and latex if you install *buntu.

Use synaptic or sudo apt-get install kile ...you can install more
texlive packages via synaptic.

Yes, I did not mention how messy texlive can be on windows.


So the argument was essentially about advocacy + elegant sys admin summaries.
