Ubuntu is a South African word; the company behind the Ubuntu Linux
distribution is Canonical Ltd, registered in the Isle of Man although with
various offices around the world. The Isle of Man is part of the British
Isles and is thus British (but not part of the United Kingdom, Great
Britain or the European Union).

Oh. I seem to have come over all pedantic. Sorry about that.
