I noticed some of the users here like Rav Tux don't use Ubuntu Linux.

Why not put an option in the Linux Distro area of your profile and your posts that lets you type in your own distro? Like how you can cast write in ballots during an election. Or if that isn't an option why not include the options "RPM based distro", "Other Debian distro", "Slackware based distro", etc.

He has more than one computer.

2. These are the Ubuntu Forums, not the "general Linux" forums. We like people regardless of which Linux distro they may use, but it would seem a bit odd to expect (for example) the Fedora Forums to have a option for users to say they use Ubuntu or Slackware or anything else. If you don't use Ubuntu you are welcome to be here and you can leave that option blank.
