Mark Shuttleworth on Ubuntu and the Linux Desktop

,----[ Quote ]
| I do believe that Linux will become a significant force, and I think that 
| Ubuntu will continue to champion our goals of delivering the best combination 
| of both software freedom and ease of use. And so, putting those together, I 
| do think, yes, we can become a force to be reckoned with. And offer a lot of 
| value to the man on the street. We articulate what we’re about: Our passion 
| is about Linux for human beings, it’s not Linux for Linux specialists, or 
| Linux for anything other than the people who we care about.

Switch: Windows Vista to Ubuntu Linux

| My latest experiences are definitely good ones, that being said, Ubuntu has
| definitly come a long way since I first messed with it back in 2004 (Warty
| Warthog).
|
| If you do not rely on propritary software or if there is alternatives for
| your propritary software in the opensource world I think Linux can be
| considered a definite candidate for an operating system.  Ubuntu and some
| other distributions that I have been playing with lately have the usibility
| functionaility now to make stuff work out of the box or at least with
| (relative) ease.

Does “Ubuntu” mean “bye-bye Windows?” Could be…

,----[ Quote ]
| There is now officially no excuse for anyone who is mildly interested not
| trying Linux. It comes complete with browser (Firefox 3), Office Suite
| (OpenOffice) that’s compatible with Microsoft files and documents, the best
| native text editor I’ve ever seen — makes Notepad look like chiseling on a
| rock — and all the other applications you need. Others are available for
| quick, free download and trouble free installation from the Web.
