10 is released I decided to take a look at the latest beta to see what the new release has to offer. Oddly enough, “Intrepid Ibex” feels more like a service pack to me than a new release.
Canonical Expanding Online Store to Drive Ubuntu Linux Deployments

:
Businesses don?t buy operating systems. They buy applications. With that fact in mind, Canonical is gradually expanding its online store for Ubuntu Linux applications. It?s a smart move ? but solutions providers will need to keep their expectations for the store under control.

‘Worth Bragging About’
“Wikimedia has been using Linux on its servers for a while; the only real news is that they’re standardizing on one distro, instead of the collection that they had been using,” Mhall119 said. “And that’s not really very interesting news. It’s good news for Ubuntu — having such a highly visible client may help them compete against.
Dell’s Mini Issues Getting Bigger?
CRN, NY
The manufacturing facility has only been partitioning the hard drives up to 4GB, leaving the extra space on the hard drive unformatted. This essentially leaves that space unuseable by customers until it is partitioned and formatted by the operating system. This problem has been corrected in our factory, and future shipments of the Mini 9 with Ubuntu Linux should have fully-formatted hard drives. To fix it, Hull says anyone who bought a mis-partitioned Mini has to use the system restore DVD, reinstall the OS and go from there. (Oh yeah, and you might want to back up all your data first. ) Dell, though, is working on an easier way to reclaim the rest of the hard drive says Hull. Dell has another problem with its Inspiron Minis that run Windows XP: reported shipping delays of up to several weeks.

When I first started writing for this blog, I couldn’t get enough Linux. It was just starting to come into its own as a desktop OS and it was free at a time when new hardware was completely out of reach. I had some moderate success with Linux in the classroom and actually became a full-time user of Ubuntu. Then I discovered OS 10. 5 and I was hooked. Don’t get me wrong…I still steer students on a budget to Linux. They can buy cheap laptops running Vista Basic and then install Ubuntu or one of the other mainstream distros and have themselves a perfectly nice machine.
