[tlug] Blog: Ubuntu = Linux / Linux = Ubuntu

[CL <az.4tlug@example.com>]

As a newbie who can make WIN dance and sing at times then Linux sits and stares at its shoes (case in point: CJK input), I found the following blogger's sentiments interesting.  He argues that Ubuntu is becoming the generic form of Linux and that it is a Good Thing (tm) and one which may eventually save the OS from itself.  As a marketer, I have long believed that Linux suffers from too many choices and too many ways to do the same thing and it is good to find one community setting a standard.

Although I have now tried almost a dozen different Linuxes, I keep coming back to Kubuntu for its ease of use and breadth of help.  Yeah, I looked into compiling my own kernels but I can't get behind the concept of spending four hours to eliminate the unneeded services that will get me an extra 1/50th of a nanosecond in faster computation time.
