“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 — 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.”
