If you said Ubuntu, which you should have, you would be correct. The one and only Mark Shuttleworth just pointed this one out, and thought everyone might enjoy.

Everyone reading this article, users of Ubuntu, Kubuntu, Edubuntu, and/or Xubuntu, give yourself a pat on the back. You all are the reason that Ubuntu keeps doing as well as it does. Without all of you, the tables could have very well been turned in this review, but with your hard work and dedication, Ubuntu keeps trucking along out front and in the lead.
