    The old joke is that “Ubuntu” is a Bantu word meaning “can’t install Debian.”

    This is clearly humor, but for anyone wondering what the actual connection is, it’s that Mark Shuttleworth, the billionaire founder and CEO of Canonical (the company that maintains Ubuntu), is from South Africa. He liked the word, and decided to name his new Debian fork after it.

    I love the poster, but honestly, calling it “the African way”, like all Africa was the same seems pretty odd to me.
