The South African firm named Ubuntu
I noticed that the name of a South Africa firm in one of the vignettes on the exam was called Ubuntu. That certainly made my eyes light up, because I am a Linux user. Linux has many, many flavors called distros. The most popular distro is called Ubuntu. Ubuntu is an African word that means humanity to others. The joke is that Ubuntu is African for "I can't configure Debian". (Ubuntu is derived from Debian, which is considered to be difficult to use. Think of Debian as being like a manual transmission and Ubuntu as being like an automatic.)
I wonder how many other candidates took notice of the name Ubuntu like I did. I also can't help but wonder if somebody who wrote that vignette is a user of Ubuntu Linux. |
