Will Google Android wreck Ubuntu?
ZDNet
With their small footprint smaller price and lack of moving parts the form factor does have a lot in common economically with a smartphone. Android has been designed for smartphones. HP’s flirtation with Android is especially surprising given all the work it has done adapting Ubuntu to its Netbook line.

What is the Windows XP-Linux connection?
TechRepublic
Kingsley-Hughes includes a poll asking readers if they plan to bite the bullet and upgrade or whether they will consider Mac S X or Linux (the overwhelming poll winner so far is upgrading to Windows 7). The other post is a longer consideration of what the “XP factor” is. What made it so popular?

To preserve the competitive advantagethat software management can provide for Linux the platform’s stakeholdersmust pool their existing efforts around packaging open-source software andstep up their outreach to proprietary software vendors. For instance Ubuntu is (and hasbeen for a couple years now) my desktop Linux distribution of choice due to itslarge catalog of packaged and ready-to-install applications. Ubuntu owes a debtto the Debian project on this front as it has been cranking out softwarepackages on a volunteer basis for years now. I’d love to see Novell and Red Hatfigure out a way to work with the Debian project to reuse the packaging effortsthat its members are making to broaden the range of software packages availablefor easy installation. It would take some work to translate the Debianpackaging efforts to work with Novell’s and Red Hat’s RPM-baseddistributions but Novell already has Build Service a project under way thatis capable of building packages for SUSE- Red Hat- and Ubuntu-baseddistributions. It’s also important that majorLinux distributors make it easier for proprietary software vendors to packagetheir wares for Linux.
Linux Needs Critics
PC World
Most of them will have high expectations–the same expectations they have of commercial software. If things ain’t right they’re gonna say so. Linux people are going to have to get a thick skin.
