It means: Ubuntu Rocks.
I've become quite the fan, and I know almost nothing about it.
It just installs and works.. We've got a couple of spare laptops
at a clients that we did nice Ubuntu installs on. When a M$-users
messes up the machine, we hand them an Ubuntu loaner..
with no instructions beyond the login/password.
2 of the M$-users now dual-boot and prefer Ubuntu. (M$ for games).
1 of them said: forget the M$ stuff.
I'd never liked Debian... until Ubuntu made it worth my time to.
Personally I now have an Ubuntu/debian lamp server right next to
my RHES4 one, and now prefer it for web app development in LAMP.
My largest client now has a rack full of Ubuntu LAMP servers.
And.. I've convinced some clients make sizable contribs to:
http://www.ubuntu.com/donations and some individual projects
(MySQL, PostgreSQL, FCKeditor..)
Just show them what a similiar M$ server install would cost.
