[ale] Canonical makes Apple look so good...

[James Sumners]

I can't read all of that. But I did get through half of it. It sounds
to me like he didn't understand, from day one, what Ubuntu is. The
distro has never been about freedom, like its parent distro, but about
an easy to use desktop Linux that could make the Canonical foundation
money. Nothing about that goal says "free" other than the price of the
download.

"All governments suffer a recurring problem: Power attracts
pathological personalities. It is not that power corrupts but that it
is magnetic to the corruptible. Such people have a tendency to become
drunk on violence, a condition to which they are quickly addicted."
