| Small wonder Ubuntu is catching on in leaps and bounds as more and
| more countries recognise and actively embrace it. For example, Brazil
| has adopted Ubuntu and added a slew of multimedia authoring capability
| to it because they feel very strongly about music and film as a form
| of cultural expression. The government has based the digital literacy
| labs it established throughout the country on the Linux operating
| system.
