Shuttleworth on Ubuntu's Direction and Intent

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on from the reasons-for-the-season-of-brown dept.

cj2003 writes "Mark Shuttleworth has released a FAQ about Ubuntu's Direction and Intent. It comments on the discussions of funding, of being a Debian-fork or not, of the strange names, and many other 'hot topics' relating to Ubuntu. In his own words: 'This document exists to give the community some insight into my thinking, and to a certain extent that of the Community Council, Technical Board and other governance structures - on some of the issues and decisions that have been controversial.'"

    ...but wasn't this posted several days ago?
    In either case, I don't really mind Ubuntu. It's one of the nicer Linux distros that I've had the [dis]pleasure of using. I just don't feel as though I'm on a level where I can comfortably use Linux as a replacement for Windows.

    There's something strange about one of his FAQ answers. It's the one that goes:

    "Where can I find some hot Goat Sex in Ubuntu?"

    A: "Just go to http://..../"

    *shrug* he's a very open-minded individual, I guess.
