It causes a lot of confusion locally. We installed 10 computer labs
using Edubuntu in association with the Ubuntu Education Fund. People
kept asking the UEF guys "Do you work for Mark Shuttleworth?" or "Ubuntu
Education Fund, that's a Mark Shuttleworth thing, right?". Some people
have even been hostile towards them and said they chose the name to
leach off the success of Ubuntu Linux, but they've had their name way
before Ubuntu Linux :)
