Breaking up with you, your daughter is prettier and easier
Dear Loved One:
By now you probably already know that I am having an affair with the youngest of your daughters. It’s not like I planned this to happen, but I couldn’t help it, she is younger, sexier, prettier and easier. Yes, she is easier than you, and this is a moment in my life when I just want that. I got tired of you playing hard to get. You are just too complicated, with your inner conflicts and your multiple personality disorder trying to be everything to everyone. You just can’t please everybody you know?
Debian: I will always have a place in my heart for you, but I’m with Ubuntu now and we are very happy together. Please stop attacking her. It’s your fault, not hers.
Love.
Gustavo Picon
No offense intended to any Debian lovers though, as Mark Shuttleworth said in his blog "it’s absolutely my intention to see that Ubuntu is a constructive part of the broader Debian landscape" and Debian's success is critical to Ubuntu's...
Hmm, embedding isn't working for my flash player, here's the link if it isn't working for you either...Link to youtube.
I always find this kind of thing interesting, mostly just out of curiosity. Ubuntu seems to be dominating today, but I personally hope it continues to grow to somewhere a little above 50%. I'm one of those who believe choice is definitely good, but too much choice is can cause chaos. Although things like the Linux standard base might help with this (although LSB seems to have had some problems, but still the idea and projects like it seem like they could really help), if one distro can maintain 50% or more marketshare, I think 3rd parties would be much more inclined to write drivers/commercial software that would be easy to install and setup. yep, commercial software - while I don't think we should have to pay for core software like the operating system, commercial software is very important for certain applications...
