Ubuntu pride--on the basketball court
The Eastern Conference of the National Basketball Association and the Linux community now have more in common than you might have thought.
Now word comes, via The Boston Herald, that Linux fans may want to throw their support to Gang Green because of the team's new rallying cry, "ubuntu."
As far as we can tell, Canonical CEO Mark Shuttleworth, the developer of the Ubuntu Linux distribution, has not signed a sponsorship deal to make Ubuntu The Official Linux Distribution of The Boston Celtics.
But it got me thinking: if other sports organizations had to choose an operating system as their mascot, what would they choose?
WINDOWS: The New York Yankees. A sustained record of dominance across generations, more money than God, and bombastic leaders prone to making controversial statements brought on by a bit of a temper. The team everyone loves to hate, but they just keep winning.
MAC OS: The Boston Red Sox.
