7 reasons why Windows 7 will not wreck Ubuntu

Ubuntu Launchpad to go open source on July 21
CNET News CA 
html” >MySQL moved its project hosting to Launchpad in early 2008–but has been proprietary and will remain so until it goes open source on July 21.

That’s the power of open source and a good indicator of Mark Shuttleworth’s commitment to open source.

Ashlee Vance story author appears to view Ubuntu — despite many successes — as the flashy but flawed plaything of a quixotic billionaire. Vance who like Shuttleworth hails from South Africa but lives elsewhere does give Ubuntu some due noting that about half of Google’s 20000 employees use a lightly modified “Goobuntu” version. He notes that 11 percent of U.

Datamation CT 
Using the Popularity Contest package these two projects collect and post weekly anonymous reports about the software used on each system on which they’re installed. The result is a rare insight into the habits of FSS users including how often software is upgraded what applications are used the most and the differences between the expert-oriented Debian distribution and the more user-friendly Ubuntu distribution. The main purpose of the project is to collect information for installation so that the most widely used applications can be put on the first CD of an install set or installed automatically.
