That was precisely the point I was making. In their slideshow, the
claim is made that it runs Ubuntu, and THEN the claim is made that it
runs Linux.

And yes, Ubuntu is a Linux distro, so anything that runs Ubuntu "runs
Linux".

IOW, if your bullshit detector went off, its in working order. Pure
marketing rose fertilizer, that one was.

It was mildly beeping, wasn't sure if it was faulty. Been a very bad week,
so I'm not firing on all cylinders.

So I was hoping that was it, I needed a good laugh! I have Ubuntu as an OS
choice on a few of my computers at home...
