[ubuntu-in] what constitutes Ubuntu (was: How to build one's own website )

[Narendra Diwate]

I have just had a cursory glance at the daily mails that i get from this
mailing list - About 2-3 a day. Thats too low for us to start worrying about
things going off-topic. Hell, you might scare away newbies that hope to
learn something unrelated to Redmond, if you stick to this Ubuntu-Only.

BTW, What is Ubuntu? Just the customisations that make Linux+ look the way
it does.

What about all the apps - either preinstalled or available in the repos.

If someone asks on the forum, pl *teach* me GIMP/ HTML editing, we can say
this is OT, but someone asking for a laptop that works with Linux, or which
Photo editing software to use, or which editor or email client, or how to
recover data from a bricked Win OS using Linux, I think as long as it is
closely related to Linux/FOSS, should be fine and not considered OT.

With a few posts a day, we are no where near the threshold to worry about
OT.

Please let the tribe of users grow, then we will worry about OT.

Regards

Narendra Diwate
