[TriLUG] A bit of Linux motivational humor . . .

[Greg Brown]

I've got to say I know more people that use Ubuntu than any other
distribution *as a desktop* Linux system.  The upgrade cycles are easy and
the support is well documented.  I haven't been running Linux as a desktop
for quite some time but the last time I booted a live CD of Ubuntu I was
quite impressed.  The uber-geeks can, and still do, roll their own
distributions and for everyone else inbetween there is 1000 varieties of
Linux to choose from.  It's all good.
