Dual booting didn't work too well, though; like 90% of the times I ran Windows, it would delete the boot-loader and I'd have to reinstall GRUB. But that wasn't a Dell, that was a Compaq Presario...

Post by: Aardwolf on September 02, 2010, 01:35:37 am: Haha no. Ubuntu the OS existed well before Ubuntu the faction, and before it was an OS it was something. Of course, I only knew about it through the OS, and I still don't quite know what it means. I even looked it up once.

Post by: Darius on September 02, 2010, 05:35:10 am: Well, community is one aspect of Ubuntu. Ubuntu philosophy is also the belief that humanity is fundamentally "good" at its core (see Rén (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ren_(Confucianism)) as the Oriental equivalent).

Post by: Bobboau on September 02, 2010, 09:07:02 am: I'm just trying to explain what the word means in simplest terms, if you'd prefer I could say the typical non-answer: "humanity towards humans".
