Going forward, Phipps said he expects to see this style of userland on top of a variety of kernels and chip architectures being the way that differentiation happens in the marketplace. “I would welcome a full industrial-strength Ubuntu on SPARC. I think it is just exactly where the market is headed. Its being mature enough to recognize that a diversity of kernels and chip sets is a strength and a richness that grows everyones opportunity,” he said.

“We entered into a dialog with people in the Debian and Ubuntu communities,” says Sands, “and we did the license iteratively, consulting with them along the way. And then, once we had the license in place, we did the same thing on the packaging code. And people got very excited. We simply couldn’t have done this—we could not have made the JDK that available on Linux platforms—without this collaboration, without adopting the collaboration model wholeheartedly. Actually, I think the way we developed the license is more exciting that the license itself.

, Red Hat, SUSE) were able to include the Java technology from this platform, specifically the Java Runtime Engine and the Java Development Kit. This half of the big news is significant because it demonstrates a genuine outreach from Sun to the Linux community. Of course, before we get all teary-eyed, let’s not forget that OpenSolaris will benefit from this new Java license, too. Cynicism aside, the proliferation of Java in more Linux distributions is going to help Linux as a whole and ideally the market penetration of Java as a Web development platform versus ActiveX. The other half of the big news was the announcement that Sun will work very closely with a Linux distribution to get said distro running on its dual-core Niagara-based servers…
The other half of the big news was the announcement that Sun will work very closely with a Linux distribution to get said distro running on its dual-core Niagara-based servers. Red Hat? Novell? No, eyes popped when Schwartz introduced none other than Canonical CEO Mark Shuttleworth to the stage during his keynote. Canonical is the U. -based corporate home of the very popular Ubuntu Linux, a distribution scheduled to be released this month on its regular six-month release cycle. At the request of Shuttleworth to the Ubuntu development community earlier this spring, the next release of Ubuntu, code-named “Dapper Drake,” was postponed until June 1.
