Quite the contrary, in fact.  One of the core values of Ubuntu is that it is available to everyone, without restriction on how they use it.  That is an important part of the freedom provided by "free software". Religious organizations, governments, charities and stamp collecting clubs are all welcome and encouraged to adopt Ubuntu and to customize it to meet their needs, regardless of whether they share an ideology with other Ubuntu users.  This is what it's all about. -- - mdz -- ubuntu-devel mailing list <a href="mailto:ubuntu-devel@lists.ubuntu.com">ubuntu-devel@lists.ubuntu.com</a> <a href="https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel">https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel </a> </blockquote></div> Only that it wouldn't be so easy if it was Jihadbuntu, with a nice pic of the twin towers colapsing as the default wallpaper.
