Well , I don't understand the interaction between socialism and ubuntu, to be honest :-) The whole linux operation system and its clones are based on "ubuntu" in the actual meaning of the word - or, in other words: open source. I doubt that any of the founders of the idea do have any socialist ideas, even if they belong to the left, which by far not all of them do.
Which makes ubuntu and its forks "ubuntu" in my eyes it the fact that they enable less techcnically interested people to take part in the blessings of a fantastic and secure OS. Am I wrong?
Thanks for bringing up that topic!!
