From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

"Ubuntu currently suffering"
karma
Why?
I can think of a few reasons ppl would enjoy the schadenfreude of Ubuntu with their uptime in a vice, but which one are we talking about here?

Definite misnomer for the corpo ai distro, maybe they should rename themselves to mcwindos or mcaihole, or similar?
There's always the torrents
Yep, don't forget to seed!
One of my websites is also currently under attack (DDoS)
i wonder why this keeps happening to them.
Because they're a popular distro from a comparatively small company, so people who want to attack things rather than build things see them as an easy target?
stonking releases next week.
they got hit six months ago, too, for resolute's last test and release.
Free unscheduled load test, right before release, how nice of the ddossers
