It is like a cult - all filled with thousands and thousands of Linux n00bs, who all seem mesmerised by Mark's millions and who are all stangely attracted by the interface that is the United Colours of Ubuntu.

Personally I don't see why the 'human' theme is all that attractive, but it does seem to appeal to a lot of inexperience users - so I guess it is all probably really just a matter of taste.

I admire Mark, but he seems to treat linux much as he treats most other things, in that for him a big part of the motivation is about winning the game. He is happy to give back, so long as he can still be number one.
