What are those techniques? What's the "Ubuntu way"? Today I read about 
Automatix for the first time, and I did get the impression that it 
didn't do things "the ubuntu way" but I couldn't figure out what they 
meant. If someone asked me what the Ubuntu Way is, I would say:

* Using sudo and having root disabled.
* Focus on usability.
* Lean in favour of pure Free Software.
* Debian-based.
* Regular release cycles.

These are all things I like and highly approve of (that's why I love 
Ubuntu). But I don't know if this is at all related to the issues with 
Automatix.

Cheers,
Daniel.
