Для Ъ:
I was getting set to download and test the latest Ubuntu release (right now in beta), and decided it might be wise to skim the release notes to see what’s new.
Under “new features,” I spied this: “Beta-1 includes the 3.2.0-17.27 Ubuntu kernel which is based on the v3.2.6 upstream stable kernel.” The Ubuntu kernel? Give me a break, guys.
Lest you wonder whether this was an intentional naming decision, it does seem to be that Canonical is deliberately avoiding using the L word. The release notes were imported by Canonical’s Kate Stewart (release manager) with the “Ubuntu kernel” language. From skimming the rest of the release notes brings up only one mention of “Linux.” This is to mention that on PowerPC if Ubuntu is installed “along side linux, the system does not automatically boot into the newly installed system.” So Canonical clearly seems to be trying to distance itself from Linux, here.
