<br> <br>Hi Caroline,<br> <br> Ubuntu Satanic Edition is tongue-in-cheek, really, and should not be taken<br> too seriously. It started off because I thought that Ubuntu Christian<br> Edition was a daft idea and I did a few wallpapers and it grew from there.<br>
<br> It's now quite a comprehensive set of themes for people who like their<br> desktops dark red/yellow/black instead of the standard brown. I take my<br> inspiration from heavy rock music and album covers and quite a few people<br>
seem to like it.<br> <br> The ironic thing is that I kind of now see where the guys at Ubuntu<br> Christian Edition are coming from and I get on with its creator, Jereme,<br> quite well. Not everyone has the knowledge (or inclination) to customise<br>
their Linux system and if we spread the word to a wider audience then that's<br> great.<br> <br>Hi Garry,</blockquote><div><br>I find your reply really interesting- and I really think that Ubuntu is something special and it is great that customising is so important to you all- but was it the Christians who thought up using the word Ubuntu? I ask because I noticed in the local church rag- they had a whole sermonette using Ubuntu (the south african word) as the central idea.<br>
