Ubuntu Q&A

| Asay: There is much that we can do on the
| design side. Itâs telling that Mark has
| stepped down as CEO so that he can focus on
| product design. He has an eye for design
| and should be a great addition to the Linux
| communityâs efforts to improve Linuxâs
| usability on the desktop.
|
| But the other side of it is that we work
| very closely with OEMs like Dell to ensure
| a seamless customer experience. If a
| customer buys an Ubuntu-based machine from
| Dell, itâs going to âjust work.â Every
| time.

If Dreams Were Real: Convergence of Distro and Kernel Versions
,----[ Quote ]
| In a lengthy 2008 blog (as we reported),
| Mark Shuttleworth outlined a plan for the
| most commonly used Linux distros (Debian,
| Ubuntu, Red Hat and SUSE) to agree to a
| two-to-three-year major release cycle. The
| sting: if they were to agree to a common
| version numbering, it would immensely
| simply the software and especially the
| driver development process. According to
| Shuttleworth, it would lead to a definite
| positive effect for all distros.

Ubuntu Koala food console gets its cron on
,----[ Quote ]
| Scalr - the open source admin console for
| Amazon's Elastic Compute Cloud and its
| Eucalyptus doppelganger - has added a cron
| job task manager to its arsenal, giving you
| more freedom to write and schedule scripts
| on sky-high virtual servers.
|
| Like RightScale, Scalr provides web-based
| management console for so-called
| infrastructure clouds, services like
| Amazon's EC2 that provide on-demand access
| to scalable compute resources. Amazon now
| offers its own web interface, but services
| like Scalr and RightScale provide a few
| extras, and they dovetail with other,
| similar services, including Eucalyptus, the
| open source project that lets you mimic
| Amazon's setup in your own data center.

BitNami Adds Modules
,----[ Quote ]
| Previously, each piece of software you installed with BitNami was entirely
| self-contained. For example, if you used their packaging to put both
| WordPress and Drupal on the same server, you'd end up with two copies of
| Apache, two of MySQL, and so on. While this made for easy configuration and
| trouble-free installs, it also had the potential to waste a lot of disk space
| and system resources.
|
| [...]
|
| The new approach makes using BitNami to set up a corporate server with a
| variety of open source software easier than ever.
