[ubuntu-uk] Battle of the Operating Systems

[Robin Menneer]

Nobody has mentioned that promoting linux is different from promoting
an operating system.  Until folk are agreed on Suse (which I had until
Novell took it over) Ubuntu (which I have and enjoy), Kubuntu,
mandrice or other systems, the man in the street is going to stay
confused.  It's like the Cornish who are embattled as which of five
ways of writing the Cornish language is best, instead of trying to
popularise this ancient language akin to Welsh and Breton.
