I'm grateful for that [Ubuntu] community because they're constantly talking and helping, and best of all solving. As a confirmed distro-hopper, I'm only within the Ubuntu family six of every eighteen months, but I read the forums regularly to learn. As for targets, Linux is general whereas Ubuntu is specific. The only thing that other Linux users are sensitive to is making the word "Ubuntu" synonymous with "Linux." Linking or analogizing Linux (or any open source community) with Obama is not wise. Obama is a brand, and at best his accomplishments will only be political ones, otherwise black people would not be talking about how much racism still exists and Obama's invocation minister would not have insulted an entire race (whites) by praying that we need finally learn 'right from wrong.' Besides, politicians will always disappoint you in the end. Well put. I’m grateful for that [Ubuntu] community because they’re constantly talking and helping, and best of all solving.
