  my suggestion:
  some mention in "A Brief History of Ubuntu", in Prologue
  maybe
  "Using the Debian operating system as a code base, Shuttleworth built Ubuntu. Ubuntu quickly rose to be the most popular Linux distribution, thanks to the financial..."
  
+ I'd add it in myself, or submit it or w/e, but no idea how
