    "About three months ago, I installed Ubuntu on my gold-plated laptop"

    by Ishmael123 on June 6, 2008

    Pros: None it stinks.

    Cons: Black People

    Summary: At first, I was in love. It was so cheap and it worked. Now, being the highly educated Jewish person I am, I was quite appalled when I found out that it was made by Africans. That's right. Underpaid, disgusting, sweaty, AIDS-infected black people. That automatically makes it not worth looking into, not even if it is free; it would be like buying kosher steak and finding out it is covered in pork juice. Disgusting!
    I was told by a friend about a version of Ubuntu called "Jubuntu", I got even more appalled by this. How dare those Arab Africans call us "Ju's"?! To think of what we had to go through with the holocaust and they feel it's okay to make derogatory terms like that. And all we get are memorials made out of buttons, and a crappy distro? Yeesh, what a bunch of nebbishes. How dare them. I've recently gone out and bought a copy of Windows, I feel it's worth the price to have an operating system that isn't made by "them".

    This presents you ignorant, angry, and misinformed. Read a book, expose yourself to other cultures, and educate yourself. If this was a joke, isn't funny. If you choose not to, it's your loss.

    I am an orthodox Jew. Jews simply do not name their children Ishmael. Both Jewish and Muslim traditions hold that Ishmael was the ancestor of Muslims while Isaac was the ancestor of Jews. While there was one Rabbi recorded in the Talmud (Rabbi Ishmael ben Elisha) with this name, it is extraordinarily uncommon.

    Further, Jewish rabbis do not talk like that. It is a grave sin to speak ill of anyone, this is called Lashon Hara (the evil language). No Jew I know would *ever* openly or privately put down black people, africans or any group. Even more so, Jews and blacks have long worked together, as oppressed peoples, to end segregation and racial/religious intolerance.

    This person is very likely not to be Jewish in my opinion and he most certainly does not represent Jewish thought, values, morals or general opinion. I can't distance myself enough from his words.

    Lastly, I have used Linux exclusively since 2003 and could not be happier.
