Hello

One of the things the style guide will specify is how we refer to
Ubuntu in our documents and on our wiki. The current terms, taken from
the StyleGuide wiki page, are below.

1. When referring to Ubuntu:
    Ubuntu or Ubuntu Operating System

2. When referring to Linux plus userland applications:
    GNU/Linux

3. If one wants to explicitly refer to the GNU/Linux nature of the
current Ubuntus:
    Ubuntu GNU/Linux

4. When referring to the Linux kernel:
    Linux

Is there any reason why we would change this? Any additions to the list?

Cheers,
Jeff
