I got the idea for this after listening to a recent LugRadio podcast. They’re all about Ubuntu. If you didn’t know, Ubuntu is a Linux distribution that has begun sprouting similarly-named offshoots like Kubuntu and Edubuntu and whatnot.

Of the possibilities listed I think “Beelzebubuntu” is the winner by a mile, but “Hubbubuntu” and “Succubuntu” are pretty good too.

(Notice the gratuitous use of Ruby. I stole the capitalization recipe from this web page because the cross-platform variations in sed are just too much for me. Of course, if I were running Rubuntu 0.1, “Deputy Dawg,” it all would surely be much easier.)

That’s really funny, man! :))
