I just finished putting up the experimental/development Kubuntu Dapper
release (KDE 3.5 and other modern inventions). After correcting the
well known bug that prevented eth0 from activating, I did the usual:
updated everthing, installed firefox, etc.). Nothing exciting, for my
minimal needs, everything just works.
I decided to open konqueror just to check it out, and, of course, on a
new system I don't have any of my usual bookmarks, so I keyed what I
thought to be the url for ubuntu www.ubuntu.org. A great shudder came
over me (coyote walking on my grave): I was now connected to an
international lefty organization touting one world government !!!
After browsing through some of the crap, I went to google to look for
Ubuntu linux. My feeble brain had forgotten that this is
www.ubuntulinux.org.
Ah, safely home again, or am I. It worries me that a great product
like Ubuntu has a close (hopefully unintended?) word association with
a group of rabble rousers. Hmmm, maybe if's associations like this one
that led that great bastion of truth, 60 Minutes, to list Linux as a
commie inspired invader?
