   Part of the joke revolves around the fact that Ubuntu goes after the   
   crowd that wants a GUI with checkboxes to check to manage the system.   
   Managing Slackware sometimes requires editing one or more text files   
   (and, often, knowing /which/ text file to edit).  Ubuntu folk who want   
   a "GUI with checkbuttons" for system admin/management find editing a   
   text configuration file or having to know which file to edit to be too   
   hard.
