Seriously? Well of course, how else do you expect to achieve Unity? |

Jim: Other distro's will be discussed soon as well! Come back next week, for the article called: "20 Linux distributions for Ubuntu" |

Hans, you gave me a good chuckle :) I guess it will be better for Ubuntu, but in some way I think stuff like this is unfair for the FOSS world. Even though Ubuntu is FOSS, its starting to have some nasty effects :( |

Even though Ubuntu is FOSS, its starting to have some nasty effects :( Yeah, it is called influx from the Windows world. These new refugees are gravitating towards Ubuntu as the "windows, but without virusses and cost". Since Linux^H^H^H^H^HUbuntu has become mainstream, the need to research the Linux phenomenon (and finding your own individual niche) has become extinct. So newcomers seldom look into alternatives. They just replace Windows with Ubuntu and call it a day. We're at the point that any article writing about a cool FOSS thing almost has to include the phrase "...for Ubuntu". If you don't, your article will only be read by aging Linux beards. |

When I talk to someone about Linux, I propose them to use Linux Mint or Ubuntu, after I explained them what Linux is. This is what should happen everywhere, instead of articles just mentioning Ubuntu and nowhere Linux. And I think Canonical is also to blame, as they basically don't mention Linux on ubuntu.com. |

Quoting:Come back next week, for the article called: Hans, now that's funny. Wish I'd thought of those witty lines. |

Cononical leaving out "Ubuntu Linux" may be hurting them more than helping them. I don't think there is a negative cannotation with "Linux". After all, you commonly hear "Microsoft Windows". |
