LOL
You've spoiled it now! It was shaping up to be a great debate, ending 
with 'Ubuntu'!
:-)

I, too, strongly favour declaring I use 'Ubuntu'. In fact when 
introducing an Ubuntu discussion to a small PC shop in farthest outer 
Lincolnshire, he soon said.
'Oh! Linux us only for techies!'

My response without a blink, was
'I am *not* talking about Linux, I am using UBUNTU!'
To his credit there was a slight pause and I could see the new 
thoughts......

The Ubuntu 'brand' is one of the the best things that has emerged, an 
dUbuntu is defined as an 'Operating System', which makes it very easy 
to lose the 'L' word which the opposition use with such surreptitious 
mischief.
