[dundee] Virtual RMS Fun

[azmodie]

The Ubuntu-UK IRC channel were having a bit of fun on Wednesday night
installing "Virtual Richard Stallman" on thier ubuntu boxes to see how many
non-free products were installed.

Well, on friday afternoon people were probably looking for something to
waste their time.. taking turns in uploading thier own results. This also
seems a good way to see what non-free packages people are using .

Note: The vrms program only reports on packages installed via apt-get.

So if you are running Ubuntu, Kubuntu, Edubuntu, Mint or other derivative.

(If you haven't got it already, just : sudo apt-get install vrms, then run
vrms.

Please append your results to the list below:
