05May Fon adopts Ubuntu
The following memo was sent from Fon’s founder and CEO, Martin Varsavsky, to his staff:
Dear All:
As of today Fon will disengage from Microsoft and adopt Linux in the Ubuntu form as our operating system of choice.
I would like to ask all Foneros to pls migrate to Ubuntu at your earliest convenience. As of next week Fon will not buy any more Microsoft licenses, nor install, service any new Microsoft programs on any existing computers. All the software we use will be Open Source unless a certain package we need is not easily available in Open Source format.
The whole letter can be read in here. It is always good to see Ubuntu being adopted over Windows. Nice choice FON!

Dear FON users,
Please can someone send me an invite to purchase the FON router at the reduced price.
The Fonero Gets Fonero program lets all those Linus and Bill Foneros out there with active FONspots invite their friend to a La Fonera WiFi Routers for just €/$ 20 (offer valid only in the European Union, Norway, Switzerland, US and Canada).
Thank you for your help.
