The Linux Desktop Will Have Its Day: Q&A With Canonical Founder Mark Shuttleworth

,----[ Quote ]
| So we're seeing a rapid ramp-up of the 
| number of PCs that ship around the world 
| with Ubuntu, which is good for us. And 
| those are going to folks who are not Linux 
| enthusiasts and are not Linux specialists. 
| So it has really raised the bar on the 
| quality and crispness of the experience 
| you have to deliver in order to keep those 
| people happy.

Is Ubuntu ready to run your business servers?

,----[ Quote ]
| I was very surprised to find that nearly 
| 15 percent of Eclipse developers 
| responding to the survey were using Ubuntu 
| on their development machines. I 
| rationalized the lack of Fedora/RHEL or 
| OpenSuse/Suse usage versus Ubuntu as a 
| proof point of Ubuntu's user experience 
| investments. But then I realized that 
| Ubuntu performed equally well on 
| deployment server market share among 
| respondents. Granted, Fedora/RHEL led 
| Linux deployments, but only by a single 
| percentage point versus Ubuntu.

6 little thing in Ubuntu 10.04 that I love 

,----[ Quote ]
| 1. Drag n' Click
| You can now click and move a window from 
| anywhere in the top part - both the 
| metacity and the space next to the menu-
| bar are dragable.
| 
| 2. Software Centre's navigation buttons
| Not only useful but really slick to look 
| at!

Shuttleworth at LinuxCon: Will Ubuntu Lead Free Software?

,----[ Quote ]
| Throughout his keynote, Shuttleworth talks about Linux as a
| whole. However, when you think for a moment, his views are
| those of a particular segment of the FOSS community --
| naturally, the ones to which he, Ubuntu and Canonical belong.
