Yesterday, my wife and I were hanging out in Borders, reading stuff. One of the things I read was the latest Linux Format<\/i> magazine, which had a small section about Ubuntu derivatives or off-shoots (I can’t remember the actual term they used). They had Linux Mint, Simply Mepis, Freespire, Pioneer Linux, and a couple of others. But they also include Ubuntu Christian Edition, and I think their description was something like “lightly modified Ubuntu with Bible study software included.” I guess that’s a fair description, but without any kind of disclaimer, this would still be a bit confusing to the uninitiated—probably leading one to ask Why is Ubuntu releasing a Christian edition?<\/i> (not the case) instead of Why is a Ubuntu user modifying Ubuntu to target Christians?<\/i> (the actual case). <\/p>\n
Jereme (the Ubuntu CE creator) definitely disagrees with me on this, but I still maintain that the name Ubuntu Christian Edition<\/i> gives the impression that it’s an official release from Canonical\/Ubuntu.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
