"Some might argue that having half a billion dollars in your
bank account was a good start, but we think Ubuntu's success can be
wrapped up in one quote from Mark Shuttleworth: "I firmly believe
that there's nothing an open source team can't do - except do
everything." That is, Ubuntu works because it dedicates a lot of
effort to refining the complete product rather than individual
parts.
"Well, to celebrate the release of Ubuntu 9.04 "Jaunty
Jackalope" we're going to kick off a three-part celebration of this
tenth release of the world's most popular distro with a quick look
back at the highs and lows over the years, complete with lots of
PDFs from Linux Format magazine from our archives. We've also gone
back and installed all ten Ubuntu releases to discover just how
much performance has changed over the years."
