share the spirit of ubuntu!

boyakasha! you'll never know microsoft sucks unless you try anything non-microsoft. yes, i know you are using microsoft windows on ur pc right now! and yeah you must be asking what the hell i am talking about; i sound like there's something else other than microsoft???

you mean you seriously don't know? have you heard of Linux?

linux, pronounced as / 'leenaks / is a open-source softeware, and of course it's an operating system!!! because it's open-source, anyone can modify and redistribute it; and that's why there are a lot of versions of linux... the famous ones, like red hat enterprise linux, fedora, lindows etc... but those fuckers sell them as goods; and they charge money; in the end, open-source did not benefit the people at all... and stupid people like us follow the trend and stick onto microsoft...

do you know that the united nations has this aid program to help africa manufacture computers that is less than US$100? but in the end they realize it's impossible... because operating systems like microsoft windows xp costs a few hundred dollars per copy. until one day, someone created UBUNTU!!! yeah! it's completely free!

ubuntu is a project under the company called Canonical Ltd. those guys are amazing, besides making this software for free, they also provide FREE DELIVERY!!! so yar... 5 weeks ago i made my request on utunbu's official website...

this morning i woke hearing someone knocking at my door. when i opened the door, i saw this super cute parcel on my floor!!!
and yes! it's from Canonical Ltd located in Isle of Man (a british oversea territory)!!! they forwarded my request to the shipment company in the netherlands and after a 5 weeks transport, it arrived at my door!!! woooh!!!
there's my ubuntu in the parcel!!!
hope u can see the words printed at the back of the package:
it says, "ubuntu is a software libre. you are encouraged and legally entitled to copy, reinstall, modify, and redistribute this cd for yourself and your friends. share the spirit of ubuntu!"

and i managed to find the meaning of "ubuntu". it's an african word meaning 'humanity to others', or 'i am what i am because of who we all are'.

i have some more african language here:
ubuntu nakupenda wewe! ubuntu tuna tuka wewe!
anyone knows the meaning?
