I don't use Ubuntu and I am carrying on.

But... that download page http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop/questions?distro=desk...

A) makes it a pain to drag everything to $0 (8 sliders to drag) B) makes it seem like you're getting a t-shirt too C) makes me feel bad for downloading it for free. D) is any of that money going to the Linux Foundation? It's not clear - if not, shame on them.

The linux foundation is responsible for a very small portion of Ubuntu, and is probably one of the most funded parts. When I donate to Canocial to support ubuntu, I expect that money to go to where it will be most useful to making a good product.
