| 2901 | Ben | Hi BBC,
My entire family use Linux as their primary OS. I find it hard to believe that my entire family are a whole 2% of your Linux visitors. |
| 2902 | michael hall | I use ubuntu and my kids are always on the BBC web site! |
| 2903 | D Robinson | I use Suse. So do my entire family. And we all 'pretend' to be IE so that fascist sites will allow us in.
I fail to understand why we are having this discussion: isn't platform-independent software agreed by all to be a Good Thing? |
| 2904 | Chris Robinson | Just the sort of nonsense that needs to be shut down from the very beginning |

| 2907 | Julian Seward | I access BBC news online from from Linux systems (openSUSE and Fedora) and have done so every day for years. I know four other people who do the same. Shame on the BBC for not supporting open standards - you should know better. |

| 2909 | C Armour-Brown | Extremely frustrating |
| 2910 | Michel Mouffant | Yet more lies from the BBC - the state broadcaster - a monstrous propaganda outfit - steered by social engineering mind-benders at the Tavistock Institute.
If the BBC blocks Linux, it really will be a blessing in disguise.
It's time to pull the life support machine on "Auntie" - the wretched hag deserves not a penny more of our money.
And since the sewerhole output of the BBC was built on OUR money, it can damn well be opened up to free access to all.
We paid for it, we own it.
So that means we get unfettered access to every second of video and audio.
Let's just see all that airbrushed footage and interviews, hidden from sight because it doesn't fit comfortably with the British Establishment worldview. |

| 2914 | phil | damn you bbc! |
| 2915 | J Sheppard | There are three people in our home using Linux to access bbc.co.uk |

| 2918 | Martin Osborne | Linux Ubuntu Gutsy here and itching to use ALL the facilities from the BBC site! |
| 2919 | Tack Martin | Hello and a good understanding to everyone ,
first I'm not in the UK ,this fact excludes me .
The BBC has a World Edition ,this Includes me.
As a Belgium with some interest in News & History
& Libraries & Science ,I look around for differant
opinions and insights.
Thereby I give ,for free ,my toughs and ideas.
Maybe ,the BBC is no Longer interested ,to broacast
there point of view into the world.
Somme considerations :
Africa doesn't have the money for expensive fee's
on proprietary software .
They are however moving very rapidly to IT
The same is true for China ,and in fact the rest
of Asia.
Even in Europe ,the less connected nations at
this time (Eastern Europe, Russia), are now very
vastly going on ( 2X ,3X /year ).
All of this expansion ,is not going to sell
much of proprietary soft ,for a lot of good reasons.
Maybe its a good view of politics , to make such
a distinction between the haves and the have not
I use several Linux /Gnu distros . And I try to be helpful in spreading knowledge .
Yours sincerely
Martin Tack |
| 2920 | Martin Jones | I pay my licence fee just like somebody using the US monopoly's software. I don't have to own a particular make of TV to watch TV - why do I have to run a particular computer operating system? You're a public broadcaster - start behaving like one and stop behaving like a supporter of a company which is *again* being investigated by the EU for anti-competitive behaviour. |

| 2922 | Anonymous | I use the BBC websites daily. I love downloading radio podcasts in linux and I would love to be able to pay to use the iPlayer outside of the UK to watch all the bbc channels.
Fedora 7 |
| 2923 | Daniel Jones | I use Linux, and I pay my licence fee.
You can create a client for the iPhone, why the hell not for Linux? |

| 2927 | Anonymous | As a publicly funded body you must provide open access to your services. Locking yourself into a cosy arrangement with American monopolists is not the way ahead. Adhere to open international standards please. |
| 2928 | Zwartij | Hi there in the UK.
looking for quality information I also look at the BBC site, with my Linux-pc and open source browser(s) off course! |
| 2929 | Stephen Badger | Well, it would be fair to suggest a good 400 - 500% of the Linux users who access BBC websites in the UK have signed this petition. We are Spartan Programmers. |

| 2932 | chris smith | The BBC used to be a highly respectable organisation, operating against a Charter that was very worthy. I have never complained about having to pay the licence fee to help protect the ethos and maintain standards of decency in broadcast. The organisation in my opinion has completely fallen into disrepute & sold its soul. With the offensive dribble of Russell Brand & Jonathan Ross & the obscene salaries backing these, if the BBC cannot protect a 78 year old man from receiving abusive phone calls from their employees they are hardly going to worry about catering for us Linux users. Incidentally I use Linux, Mac & Windows (Microsoft not by choice). Time for the Director General to resign. Incidentally my stats will be counted as Windows, however, I am getting to the point that I will just start boycotting this childish organisation. |
| 2933 | David Marsden | I use Ubuntu Linux at home and at work (along with Mac and Windows). I encourage everyone I know to use Ubuntu Linux as a free alternative to Microsoft that can do everything Windows can do and more. Except download iPlayer content! Well, you can do that, too, with a bit of hacking ;-) |
