Question... Has anyone mentioned something like:  Ubuntu: For the
people, by the people.

I know that sounds a bit cliche, but it seems to me that Ubuntu is just
as much about the community as it is the distro. I personally know a few
of people who have stayed with Ubuntu specifically because of the forums
and wiki to help them along. It's just a thought.
