I am eternally grateful to Canonical for Ubuntu. In the 2000s, Ubuntu nade it easy for people like me to onboard to the Linux world.
But I also recognize that Ubuntu is no longer for me.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Shipit was especially such an amazing program. Were it not for a friend of mine handing me a disc with an Ubuntu 5.04 CD on it, I may have never gotten a taste of Linux.
