Mark Shuttleworth and the Grand Linux Vision

"Demand for USB images is huge, even more than LiveCDs. Users are moving to LiveUSB distribution, both for hard drive installs and running from a USB stick, which is a lot faster than a CD.

"He talked about something that goes against the conventional wisdom for running Linux servers: that Ubuntu server admins want new releases rather than old (and presumably stable and well-tested) software, because they want the functionality in new software. Especially power saving, as the cost per watt is a big factor these days."
