"Something for everyone" where everyone includes Google, the NSA, your future ex-wife and her lawyers, the Chinese Public Security Bureau, and any behavioral tracking advertising networks or other businesses Google cares to partner with. I'll stick with non-cloud-based computing for now.
- harrytuttle 13y agoYou nailed it there. And before someone says it, no "I'll stick Ubuntu on it" isn't a valid answer to the problem as you're still supporting them by buying it.
- pearjuice 13y agoUbuntu is non-FOSS so it isn't a valid answer anyway.
- Widdershin 13y agoJust wondering, what makes Ubuntu not FOSS?

- Widdershin 13y agoThanks for that link. The fact that they provide a version that only contains FOSS repos makes me think that calling Ubuntu non-FOSS a bit of an overstatement. That Amazon thing seems a bit icky, though.
