ZaReason Ships Ubuntu 10.04 Systems

[ Thanks to The VAR Guy for this link. ]

"Each time Canonical ships a new Ubuntu release, I’m inclined to reach out to two specific PC companies: ZaReason and System76. Both companies focus intensely on Ubuntu netbooks, notebooks, PCs and servers. Here’s a look at ZaReason’s Ubuntu 10.04 strategy â€" according to CEO Cathy Malmrose and CTO Earl Malmrose (pictured).

"The quick Q&A below is based on an email exchange I had with Cathy and Earl.I’ll be sure to follow-up with System76’s perspectives soon.

"WorksWitnU: Any initial thoughts on how Ubuntu 10.04 will perform in the market?

"ZaReason: We are over-the-top psyched about the 10.04 release. We have a good portion of customers who stick with LTS (Long Term Support) releases. 10.04 is light-years beyond 8.04 (the previous LTS) in every way. We are looking forward to the next two years being full of happy LTS customers.

"WorksWithU: Will you start shipping on launch day?

"ZaReason: Definitely."
