What to expect in Debian 5: Lenny
,----[ Quote ]
| All-in-all, it looks like Debian 5 will be an outstanding distribution. Since
| Debian is, in turn, the foundation of many other distributions, such as
| Ubuntu and its family of Linux distributions; MEPIS; and Xandros, this bodes
| well for all of Linux.

Are Ubuntu Users Getting the Best of Both Worlds?
,----[ Quote ]
| For a community distribution, Ubuntu sure knows how to preen itself to look
| good for the business world. Canonical hasn't exactly kept its plans to get
| on IT managers' radar a secret, but the number of enterprise-ready
| applications for Ubuntu 8.04 LTS that are slowly becoming available in the
| Ubuntu Partner repository is getting hard to ignore.

Ubuntu Free Culture Showcase
,----[ Quote ]
| For a long time now, Ubuntu has included on the CD a small collection of
| media files that can be used to show off a new Ubuntu system. This content
| has always included a sound and a video clip, both using the free Ogg Vorbis
| and Theora formats.

There's also Launchpad coming (probably AGPLv3). Now that SourceForge sold out
to Microsoft (Diamond sponsor), it's clear that it's good to have choice.
Google ignores MPL and AGPL. It's a proprietary software company, just like
IBM ( http://technocrat.net/reply/2008/8/5/47378 ).
