Look, no matter if this release were Barfing Buffalo or Beautiful Butterfly,
I'd still be waiting impatiently for CDs to arrive. That Ubuntu evidences
disdain for marketing suggests that perhaps the technical merits can
overcome naming conventions and perhaps marketing and sales are not the
target audience. I regard this as a plus.
I think brown a warm, friendly contrast to the overwhelming blue themes on
sites and most programs on computers.
