Linux wank
If you've been arount the Linux community recently, you've probably heard of the new distrobution Ubuntu. It's actually a good distro that has pretty good standards, even if it is in pre-release.

However, the developers decided to change the login screen and splash screen themes of late. Now, the images contain nudity. While these are more classical nudes, some people have problems with the pictures.

Now, to be completely honest, I like the pictures, but the old login and splash screen were cleaner and calmer, and more of the kind of thing that I'd use on my computer. I'll get screenshots of them ASAP, so that y'all can compare.

	I do admit that they have a point that these images might not fly globally though. France? NP. Saudi Arabia? Hmm. (Reply to this)(Parent)

	I kept reading that as "slash screens" and thinking that Linux was a lot more interesting than I remembered it. (Reply to this)

It's easier to remember my usernames when I am not offered décolleté insights. Unless they are written there.

Personally, I would discard the pictures because they have that slightly unpleasant advertisement look that you can often find in pro-european-union leaflets.

And if I had to pick a product design for world wide distribution I would do the safe thing and go for cute kittehs. :D
