“For me, Ubuntu became a significant force within the Linux
community with its 2006 releases: 6.04 and 6.10. From April 2006,
I’ve installed and used every new version and anticipate each new
one the way a child anticipates toys on Christmas morning. But,
have you ever wondered why is Ubuntu the ultimate Linux
distribution? Why is it so popular? Why did Canonical choose Debian
as its distribution template? And, why did Mark Shuttleworth
believe in Linux so much that he chose to create Canonical to
support it?“Let’s take a look at Ubuntu Linux and see if we can figure out
why it is, in fact, the ultimate Linux distribution.”
