Linux is Not an Operating System

,----[ Quote ]
| I've often discussed about this topic with (tech savy) friends and I always 
| stick to my point that Linux is not an operating system...

You Use Ubuntu, Not Linux

,----[ Quote ]
| SOLUTION: When evangelising, don't use the term "Linux", use the name of 
| whatever distribution you're using.

"We should dedicate a cross-group team to come up with ways to leverage Windows
technically more."

There's more to Linux than Ubuntu

| I already said that it scares me. It scares me that I am in no power to 
| change the state of affairs. It scares me because competition between 
| distribution benefits them all, perfecting the tools, causing applications to 
| be developed, economies and companies created, communities united. Without 
| all this, Linux would stop being the "way of the l337", and the title "cool" 
| and talent may move to other directions. So I hope it's not too late. I hope 
| there's still time to differentiate. To explain to all that Linux is what 
| matters, not the specific distribution, no matter how good and successful it 
| may be. Hell, I may even use Ubuntu for different purposes, but I will use 
| others as well (Gentoo for example, but also Fedora Core/CentOS and others), 
| and remember the most important thing.          
| 
| There's much more to Linux than just Ubuntu.

Divining from the Entrails of Ubuntu's Gutsy Gibbon

| According to the 2007 DesktopLinux.com survey, Ubuntu is the distribution of 
| choice for 30% of GNU/Linux users. The exact figure is questionable, but 
| Ubuntu's dominance is not. For an increasing number of people, Ubuntu is 
| GNU/Linux. Yet, looking at the pre-releases of Gutsy Gibbon, Ubuntu 7.10, I 
| found myself becoming disturbed by the degree to which this popularity has 
| translated into uncritical acceptance.
