  It's gotten so that many *expect* linux and ubuntu to be the same
  thing. At one time I was trying to do an install in slackware and
  someone on a forum told me to use something "modern" like ubuntu.
  My reply was frosty to say the least, given that I previously had found
  ubuntu's build tools to be behind the curve at least with respect
  to slack.
