How is this a thing??
Yeah some kind of fucky configuration.
The root is:
http://archive.ubuntu.com
Which, if the
ubuntulink is clicked, then drops you into the the real archive root... but the link is "appended" to the new path, but the same link is reproduced in the "new" folder. Click it again, and another segment added to your current path even though you're in the same root archive, ad nauseam.I couldn't find this misconfiguration on stackoverflow, which leads me to believe someone at ubuntu is doing something especially special here.
I'd bet that they symlinked
/ubuntuto the server's home root - probably for continuity with some previous file structure. It sure looks silly, but I'm sure the reasons for doing it were pretty reasonable.
