[ale] Speaking of Ubuntu

[Jim Kinney]

Hmm. Maybe if they wrote their own from scratch. The kernel is what makes
it "Linux". Dropping the word "Linux" from the kernel makes it sound like
Cannonical has produced the kernel all on their own. Kind of snake-oil
sales in my view.

RedHat calls theirs "RedHat Enterprise Linux kernel".  They pay a lot of
people to write kernel code that a very many people are happy with.

But Cannonical has always appeared to me to be rather pompous and
bombastic.

As long as the general population is passive, apathetic, diverted to
consumerism or hatred of the vulnerable, then the powerful can do as they
please, and those who survive will be left to contemplate the outcome.
