Ubuntu Founder Mark Shuttleworth on Productivity and Linux
,----[ Quote ]
| Lifehacker: Please describe your personal productivity system. What version
| of Ubuntu are you using and what applications are part of your daily routine?
|
| Mark Shuttleworth: I am running Gutsy, which is the current development
| version that will be released in October, and I use Thunderbird heavily. For
| me it's a better email system then Evolution. Since I travel so often, I use
| it in online/offline mode so I always have access to critical email. I do
| quite a bit of work offline, on trains and planes and when I don't have
| Internet access. I'm really looking forward to WiMAX so I can be connected
| more of the time when I'm on the road.

3D desktop computing with Mandriva and SabayonLinux

| Overall though, I am one of the persons who enjoy the concept of a
| 3D desktop. There are voices in the Linux community saying that this

| accelerated desktop has a potential to increase one's productivity
| on our computers once the new habits become entrenched.
