It's possible that we're just caught between different definitions of the word 
Ubuntu [it would be nice if there was some standard project vocabulary for 
disambiguation].

I've never run Ubuntu [the desktop], so despite using Ubuntu [the Linux 
distribution] since 2006 and contributing to the community almost as long, by 
at least by one definition of Ubuntu, I've never used Ubuntu.
