Ironically there is in fact a link. The Ubuntu distro name is based on one of Africa's many languages. It translates to "humanity to others" . The Ubuntu distros founder "Mark shuttleworth is from South Africa and so is Desmond Tutu " (Person mentioned on the book cover). I do however regret to inform you that Desmond Tutu does not actually Arch btw

Wait until you get to the chapter where they make unremarkable cola.
