There is a lot of bantering going on, from smaller blogs on up to the biggies, about how Ubuntu is the becoming generic name for Linux in much the same way all facial tissues are Kleenix, and all those peel and stick bandages are a Band-Aid.
One blog, recently opened up with the following…
Linux is small enough. Let’s face it, most computer users don’t even know about Linux, let alone know what Ubuntu is. However, among new Linux users, Ubuntu is quickly becoming synonymous with Linux. And that is a shame.
I would disagree with that statement, and the author was even nice enough to give me a reason why in his next statement.
Linux has a breadth and depth to it that is hard to fathom for new users.
