Yeah, I've gotta admit, I'm a bit turned off by the name, "Ubuntu."
Perhaps the poster would be turned off by any non-english or
non-european name.
I think that ubuntu is probably a good name if you want to
sell in africa but certainly not a good choice if you want to sell in
the western world. Do not underestimate the power of emotions.
To put it bluntly, the issue is whether white people will accept a product
with a Black African "sounding" name or not.
If this is indeed the problem, the problem is not with Ubuntu.
