brian98hola everyone06:41
brian98Anyone awake?06:41
poningruelkbuntu: bwhahahahaha06:41
elkbuntuthe occasional burst of life, brian9806:41
poningrubrian98: yeah whatsup?06:41
brian98yay06:42
brian98Just wondering, I asked the question in #ubuntu06:42
brian98http://distrocenter.linux.com/ - why no ubuntu? Is that a snub?06:42
brian98Seems to be a bit of a snub to the best distro out there ;)06:42
Burgundaviano, just not updated recently06:42
FlannelBurgundavia: looks like things need to be submitted manually: If you would like to see a distribution represented here that isn't, please contact the distribution project or vendor and tell them to submit their information to us.06:43
BurgundaviaI know the editor of linux.com, so I will email him06:43
brian98ok, just wanted to let you know.. Keep up the good work ;)06:44
Burgundaviathanks!06:45
Burgundaviabrian98: another thing to look for is people calling it Ubuntu Linux06:45
Burgundaviait is just Ubuntu06:45
brian98Ok06:45
brian98but it's still a linux distro06:45
brian98*duck*06:45
brian98:)06:45
brian98a very very good one..06:46
brian98but I understand the marketing stuff06:46
Burgundaviayou don't call it Ford Car or Airbus Airplane06:47
Burgundaviasuggested text to replace Ubuntu Linux is Ubuntu, a Linux distribution,06:48
Burgundaviaor Ubuntu, a Linux-based operating system,06:48
brian98exactly06:48
brian98I totally understand06:48
brian98ubuntu os would be nice06:49
brian98:)06:49
Burgundaviahmm, the ubuntu website has finally fixed the title06:49
BurgundaviaI can edit, but not that part06:49
brian98when I tell people about ubuntu.. First thing they ask is 'what is it'06:49
brian98Like MAC OS06:49
brian98or Microsoft windows06:49
brian98windows being synonimis with being an operating system06:50
brian98sorry if I'm going on here and tell me to get lost if I'm talking s**t06:50
brian98:)06:50
Burgundaviawell, that is part of our job06:50
brian98I like the sound of ubuntu OS06:56
brian98or shake it up ubuntu osx06:56
brian98apple would love that :)06:56
poningruhaha06:56
brian98and market it as osx for free06:57
brian98I'm just kidding now...06:57
brian98I've been working for 18 hours and it's 5:57 am now so I'm prob not making much sense06:57
Burgundaviano, you are not ;)07:00
brian98:)07:01
brian98some of the best ideas come in those lucid moments07:01
poningrutoo true07:01
brian98so you guys work for Canonical07:02
brian98?07:02
Burgundaviano07:02
brian98o ok07:02
brian98man it's such a task you have ahead, so exciting, so much you can achieve if you market this product right..07:03
brian98plus google are sniffing about aren't they07:05
Burgundavianot really07:05
brian98http://www.theregister.co.uk/2006/01/31/google_goes_desktop_linux/07:06
Burgundaviautterly and totally false07:07
BurgundaviaGoogle is a heavy user of Ubuntu internally07:08
Burgundaviagoobuntu is an internal code name for their patches, mostly stuff to connect to company resources07:08
