Mad Penguin on Ubuntu 5.10 Preview
atrebuse wrote to mention a preview of the Ubuntu 5.10 Preview release, on Mad Penguin. From the article: " Every community has its heroes. From the beginning of time, we've all needed that special something to grasp onto and worship in one way or another. The Linux community is no different. Sure, there are a handful of people known as leaders or visionaries that people look up to, but what other altars do they worship at? The Altar of the Distro. That's the one I'm referring to. According to the DistroWatch page hit ranking sidebar, Ubuntu Linux has held the title of '"most worshiped distro' for quite some time now. So why is that? Is it because Ubuntu is just that good? Is it because the Ubuntu followers are just sitting there hitting their browsers refresh button on the DistroWatch Ubuntu page? What is it about Mary? "
I wasn't so much talking about shows like that as pretty much all you mentioned I watch on a regular basis.. I'm talking about your daytime TV (which sucks in every country, I admit), and sports shows (NASN which we can get over here...), the constant badgering with adverts and even the way things are advertised during a show ("...brought to you by McDonalds!") just doens't happen over here.
Don't even get me started on American Football and Baseball though! How you people watch that is beyond me, they're so boring!
