[Gloucs] Cat amongst the... package mangement solutions

[Anthony Edward Cooper]

    Yup ubuntu is getting a lot of interest and rightly so from what I 
hear. A number of people at work say that the only distro that worked 
with their widescreen laptops out of the box was Ubuntu. Also Jono Bacon 
indicated the same when talking about the various Linux shows that he 
had been to (loads of laptops running U...).

    Its just that name - for a British distro it should be called 
something like Martha, big bess or Matilda. Ubuntu will never do - its 
just too trendy :-)

    Is it true that debian is so called because a husband and wife team 
set it up and they were called Debra and Ian? Surely not, that must be 
urban myth...

    Cheers,

    Tony.
