Oh Zulu! Okay. I wasn't sure where to post my complain, so I'll post it
here.



Just got my CDs in the mail, and I realized that it says that 'Ubuntu'
is an 'African' word.



Africa's a pretty big place. Lots of languages. Like every continent.



Would it hurt the Ubuntu designers to SPECIFY the language that Ubuntu
comes from? We would say that "schnapps" is a "European" word meaning
...



well, you see my point.
