What Really Happened To Ubuntu's Edgy Artwork?

angrykeyboarder writes, "Many Ubuntu users expressed surprise, dismay, and disappointment when Mark Shuttleworth (sabdfl) nixed the popular community-developed artwork during the beta phase of Ubuntu 6.10 ('The Edgy Eft'). Some Ubuntu community members were downright shocked, and many were ultimately dissatisfied with the final product. What exactly happened? Short answer: the Art Team was less disturbed than some other community members were. Linux.com has the scoop." Slashdot and Linux.com are both part of OSTG.

My guess?

Their artist died of AIDS and they needed to get some other less talented fag to do the new artwork. Just my theory.

Stuff that matters?

Some guys made some art. Some guy in charge didn't like the art. Whoopdie freakin do.

I mean, there are slow news days... and then there are days where they'd be better off posting nothing at all. This article was utterly pointless.

So does this mean that there are at least two people who thought this worthless fucking article was actually "stuff that matters"? Color me surprised.

"Edgy Eft"?

"Feisty"? Political fallout over art work? My goodness I'm glad I left Linux behind for OpenBSD last millenium. Nothing sounds better to me than -current and -stable. And the art and tunes of OpenBSD consistently rock:
