- dustinkirkland 12y agoIndeed! It's a bit of an homage to one of the greatest video games of all time, applying it literally to our own bright orange cloud kit in a box ;-)
- astrowilliam 12y agoDoes it come with a free crowbar?
- wmf 12y agoNo, Crowbar is from Dell. Ubuntu uses MaaS. :-)
- wildpeaks 12y agoGiven the use of that name and "Free Man" in the title, I suspect they're already aware of it and that it's an intentional reference.
- madeofpalk 12y agoI thought it was on purpose, esp. with the main character of the main game is 'Freeman'
