Cheers for putting so much work into this document, however I have to agree with what the others have generally put forward in response. I agree fully that the description of Ubuntu, Kubuntu, Xubuntu and Edubuntu could be improved upon but changing the branding is not the way to go for a multitude of reasons, as the others outline. Rather, and a very simple fix for this problem, is to approach it by fixing the descriptions. :) So much less work and causes much less confusion. We just need to fix the descriptions that the browser first sees when they hit the edu/k/x/u-buntu web sites such that a high schooler can understand it. :) Cheers again, Pascal
