The Community Cafe
The Community Chat area is for lighthearted and enjoyable discussions, like you might find around a water cooler at work.

Almost any non-tech-support topic may be discussed here. Discussions on religion and politics are not allowed, except for politics directly related to free and open source issues. Any topic or discussion that causes problems or drama will be closed. This area is intended for fun and community building, not arguments. Please take those elsewhere. Thanks!

I was bored enough to search for Ubunto. Google was nice enough to ask if I meant "ubuntu"

I love that everyone's b!tching about "Ubunto" and ignoring the fact that a major media outlet is calling Linux a prime competitor for Windows.
