No. this topic could have derailed the other posters thread. Nothing wrong with starting your own.

Linux is secretly getting code inserted into it by <insert your least favorite dictator here> so that they can take over the world when Linux takes off. That good enough for you? :P

The Linux developers put code into the programs that harvest your personal information.

Conspiracy can come in any way. Not only as sales.;)

Open source software is a scam to get free development. When they're finished the source will be closed, and the program will be sold for billions of dollars.

Canonical silently is pushing people inside Microsoft to code very very very bad code,
the secret proyect has started at Windows Vista Development, the secret agents make a perfect job,
this is the Bug Fix Process to Bug #1

Mark Shuttleworth doesn't exist, it's all a hoax. Bill Gates is the true head of Canonical (a secret codename for Microsoft-South-Africa).

For example, Windows 7 and KDE.

Cuba has their own Linux distribution, called Nova Linux :D

I heard Linus was genetically engineered for superior intelligence.

21 December 2012--all the Ubuntu computers in the world will connect together, take over all the orbiting satellites and will send a signal to deep space guiding the Mayans back to earth and bringing world peace.

the only valid (possibly) Linux conspiracy theory I have heard is that Linux is an anti-capitalist weapon to make the world more socialist. We all share everything and nobody has more or less than anybody else. Sharing is unnatural.. it's a dog eat dog world... Linux users are all homosexual communists!!

Wow, so they do. I find that surprising they have only allowed mainstream computer ownership and the internet since Fidel Castro stood down as President. I like their thinking on this...

"The Cuban government feels that Windows is not only a symbol of U.S. hegemonic rule, but they think the U.S. government has access to Windows' source code, and could use it against the Caribbean island," writes Gizmodo's Adrian Covert. "And it's difficult for Cubans to obtain and update their Windows software since there's like, you know, that whole trade embargo nonsense makes it really, really difficult to BUY it..."

It's both of them. It wouldn't be a good conspiracy if they worked alone.
