How Canonical Stays on the Light Side
,----[ Quote ]
| By focusing on enabling users, and keeping the commercial interests of
| Canonical separate from the interests of the community, Shuttleworth hopes to
| avoid the fate of another company who once upon a time was very interested in
| user enpowerment.
|
| "I think what ultimately went wrong... was the desire people have to win
| supersedes all else. As soon as you get that, then you get a sort of
| pathological level of behavior where people's actions and the decisions that
| they are making ensures they will continue to win," Shuttleworth said.
|
| That company? Microsoft.
|
| Clearly Shuttleworth does not to walk the same path as Ubuntu anCanonical
| become more successful with the passing days, and his company reflects the
| vigilance to avoid such a fate.

Sounds a bit like the newly-launched OpenDesktop.
Here's one person who stubbornly insists that Fedora beats Ubuntu Linux.
Why Choose Fedora? (Fedora vs. Ubuntu)
,----[ Quote ]
| The point here is not to try and drag Ubuntu through the mud. But having now
| used it, I believe I can definitively say that that particular Linux
| distribution is really aimed toward the Linux n00b (no offense intended), or
| the Linux desktop enthusiast. For server applications, it just doesn't cut
| it. Fedora provides a much deeper and comprehensive set of tools right out of
| the box, and I find that after I've finished installing it, I'm off and
| running. I've seen other people allude to this fact as well — Ubuntu is fine
| for the average desktop user, but if you are in need of a powerful Linux
| server, then Fedora is the way to go. And with that, let's get down to
| business...
