| of his desktops. And Jono Bacon, Canonical’s Ubuntu Community Manager, will
| offer a keynote focused on Linux desktops. But listen closely, folks. Much of
| the buzz around Ubuntu is now expanding to the server. Dell, for one, is

| promote Ubuntu as a server platform for LAMP-oriented solutions.
