Congrats Ubuntu!
Ubuntu was a big factor in me getting into Linux as a kid in India. In an era where the only internet we had was expensive dial-up, Ubuntu shipping CDs all the way here was such a nice act of kindness!
I was even able to evangelize people around me into Linux, since I was able to give away CDs.
