Ha, keep mocking. The day isn't far when Ubuntu will chew and spit out every distro out there, if it isn't already doing so. Sure, your communities can all hold on in their "free" time supporting their respective distros, but without the moolah to back it with, no long runs in the future. Before Ubuntu, Linux couldn't even manage a share inspite with a proud 20 years or so of its existence however else the elitists might think. General consumer companies are slowly spawning debs along with setup.exe's, so ya know what is going to be the standard on Linux OS. Till then, keep mocking.

Yes, sometime in the future, we'll all be running Amorous Arthritic Aardvaark, and asking: "Anyone remember Slackware and Debian?"

It's sort of controversial to note that usually it's military where one finds this sort of two-word names that don't generally mean anything wise, but that some people consider relevant (in some weird way) to the thing they represent---typically all sorts of operations are named this way, for a variety of reasons (and often containing sounds that are somewhat difficult to pronounce by non-natives). But maybe Ubuntu, standing for humanity and all, is the exception to the rule :) |

And I really don't see any disrespect to Ububtu as an OS, either in this thread, or others. Sure, people are making fun of the names, but not the OS. Though I don't use it myself, I think Ubuntu is doing wonders for the community. |
I'm mocking the release names, not the distro itself. I've tried Ubuntu (from 6.06 to 8.04, haven't tried 8.10 or 9.04) and it was OK, installed and ran without a hitch. But as a purely personal preference (****ing alliteration is catching!), I find Slackware more involving and interesting.
