As soon as someone realizes that there's so many derivatives that what
Ubuntu itself is gets lost. So to fix that we rename it to Gnubuntu.
But nobody can actually pronounce that so it gets contracted to
Gubuntu which conflicts with Google's version which should actually
be called Goobuntu....
This is getting as bad as less/more/most and cat/dog :-)
