“‘By most measures Ubuntu is one of the leading operating
systems in the cloud, including being the core OS powering
CloudFoundry.com. Now starting with the 11.10 release both the VMC
Client, and VCAP server functionality will be available directly as
Ubuntu packages created by Canonical. With over 20 million active
desktop users and a strong IaaS server OS popularity it represents
an important milestone for the open source distribution of Cloud
Foundry, and is just the beginning of an ongoing collaboration with
Canonical. Having the VMC client pre-installed and ready on
millions of developer desktops makes a Cloud Foundry app deployment
just a few commands away for anyone using Ubuntu.'”
