My Ubuntu story

I was going in for an interview when I saw something neat, fresh on the Receptionist Computer A circle with people holding hands. I thought is was very new so The Owner came out and asked me back to his desk I seen about 6 computers on his desk. I have used windows, RedHat and Fedora I heard of Ubuntu, but never used it. I asked him what systems he uses he Ubuntu, and out of the desk he pulled out a disk and gave it to me. He hired me, and he gave me my new OS Ubuntu 8.10 I now have Ubuntu Jaunty 9.04 on my laptop.
