Comment Re:Ubuntu, worst linux distribution name ever... (Score 1) 92
I fail to understand if you try to be funny or if you really don't know, what you are talking about. However...
"Ubuntu" _is_ a Zulu word. Ubuntu _was_ intended as an african Linux distribution. The essential meaning of "ubuntu" is "humannes", though that is rather simplified. It extended meaning is that "a human is a human being through other human beings". But even that is too simple. It also contains respect and concern for one's family, one's neighbors and is fundemantally inclusive, in strong contrast to the fundemantal exclusive of the western culture.
