Which, of course, is the inevitable result of their utterly massive
re-branding approach (vs development & attribution/contribution).
Sheesh, I've seen a HOWTO entitled "How to find duplicate files with
fdupes on Ubuntu".  Uhm.... let me guess "man fdupes"?  What is Ubuntu
(or anything) specific about that?  The same commands work the same way
on AIX.  Ubuntu is 10% a LINUX distro and 80% a marketing campaign (not
sure what the other 10% is).
