“The new Ubuntu release is almost here and I like the Ubuntu
10.04 desktop a lot. As a Linux expert, it’s a little too simple
for my personal tastes, but it’s the best beginner Linux out of the
box I’ve ever seen. That’s all well and good, but where Canonical,
Ubuntu’s parent company really hopes to make money is from this
latest LTS (Long Term Support) Ubuntu Linux for the server and the
cloud.“Canonical CEO Jane Silber and Founder and VP of Product Design
Mark Shuttleworth were candid about this at a noon Eastern Time
press conference announcing the arrival of the 10.04 Server and
Desktop. That said, Silber was also pleased to report that other
companies are now shipping Ubuntu desktop on laptops from Lenovo in
China and Sharp in Japan.“Shuttleworth also noted that Ubuntu’s basic design philosophy
is going to center on making it ‘light.’ By this he meant both
light as a distribution and light and fast to deploy both on
desktops and servers.”
