Dellâs Ubuntu Linux Strategy Extends to China
,----[ Quote ]
| From time to time, Dell does a poor job
| articulating its Ubuntu Linux strategy. But
| sources close to Dell and Canonical
| continue to insist the relationship remains
| healthy and âstronger than ever.â Hereâs an
| update on Dellâs Ubuntu strategy â which
| includes a dramatic Dell-Ubuntu PC push in
| China.
|
| First, some background: Dell began shipping
| Ubuntu preloads in mid-2007 on selected
| U.S. desktops. Dellâs decision to offer
| Ubuntu came only a few months after
| Microsoft launched Windows Vista. That
| certainly caught my attention.
|
| By July 2007, I jumped on the Dell Ubuntu
| bandwagon, and hoped to eventually launch
| an Ubuntu-centric web site that tracked
| Canonicalâs business strategy.

Ubuntu Maverick Meerkat
,----[ Quote ]
| Although Ubuntu Lucid Lynx has not yet been
| released, Canonical chief Mark Shuttleworth
| has already named its successor: Maverick
| Meerkat.
|
| Ubuntu Lucid Lynx is due for release at the
| end of April while the newly named Maverick
| Meerkat is only scheduled for release in
| October. But, as is traditional,
| Shuttleworth used the remaining weeks of
| the Lucid development phase to lay down
| guidelines for the next phase.

Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid Lynx Boots In 3.6 Seconds [Using SSD]
,----[ Quote ]
| The upcoming release of Ubuntu, i.e Ubuntu
| 10.04 Lucid Lynx, is already showing signs
| that it boots fast â very very fast if you
| are using SSD. The Ubuntu developers will
| probably not be able to achieve the 10-
| second boot that they were aiming for in
| Ubuntu 10.04, but an Ubuntu Developer,
| Benjamin Drung, has managed to boot Ubuntu
| 10.04 Lucid Lynx in 3.6 seconds using SSD.
| On a normal spindle-based hard disk, such
| booting times, of course, cannot be
| achieved due to the mechanical parts that
| are involved.
