Yup. The community - and the code of conduct - are marvellous. Even if 
the code was rubbish - which it most certainly is not - Ubuntu would 
still rock, simply because it is a good place to be.

I use OS X most of the time, and have a soft spot for Slackware, but in 
the end, Ubuntu is where I'm at, because I can contribute what I know 
and get a whole lot more back about what I don't know.

I'm feeling all warm inside, so I won't rant about weird accusations of 
pseudo-elitists and groupies :)
