Idea: Unify the Ubuntu name

Everyone agrees that Ubuntu is making huge progress towards mainstream adoption. But what do we mean when we say " Ubuntu "? Don't we really mean *buntu, a collection of all Ubuntu versions?

In Windows, you can simply fire up HyperTerminal to get basic access to your devices. If you are using Linux, then you need to know how this can be done with an application called Minicom . Hardware First, you are going to need a Cisco console cable , a Cisco device, and a computer. If your computer has a serial port , then you can use the standard console cable that comes with every Cisco device. If you do not have a serial port (like most new laptops), then you need to purchase a USB to Serial adapter that supports Linux. This device will allow you to use the standard Cisco cable, which has a serial port on one end.
