“7. Rugged Ubuntu Devices: EmperorLinux Inc. President
and CEO Lincoln Durey showed me a small, rugged Panasonic Toughbook
device running Ubuntu. Durey mentioned the device is ideal for such
vertical markets as real estate, health care, and insurance. Watch
for a FastChat video featuring Durey to debut on WorksWithU later
this week.

“6. More Cellular Devices Coming: Pete Graner, Canonical’s
kernel team manager, told me to expect cellular and mobile
broadband-type companies to offer more Ubuntu-oriented devices.

“5. Small Business Server Remix? Nope: Pugh said Canonical
wasn’t currently working on any type of Small Business Server
version of Ubuntu. But he said Ubuntu in the cloud and Ubuntu
Server Edition could certainly meet small business needs. Plus,
Pugh noted groups like Amahi are working on Ubuntu for home
servers.”
