Greetings,
I'd like to know if anyone is working on the promotion of Ubuntu as an ideal
Entreprise Linux solution?
I'm rather pleased with how Ubuntu is the first Debian variant that comes with
good defaults for the desktop, making it immediately usable by corporate users.
As such, I've been working with two Baltic startups who initially considered
developing their own Debian-based distribution and, in one case, successfully
made them consider simply localizing and supporting Ubuntu, as a more viable
alternative to wasting resources on their home-brewed product.
Given the backing of Canonical, I thus easily see Ubuntu succeed where Debian
itself failed: to bring the community approach and solid development practices
of Debian into a de-facto standard Linux distribution with the accountability
and corporate backing that the Entreprise market has always wanted.
Also, noticing how several early adopters of Linux felt abandonned by Red Hat
when they switched to their RH Entreprise business model and how Debian often
wanted their shot at becoming THE de-facto Linux distribution, I think that
Ubuntu now has a golden opportunity to impose itself in a nice way, all while
promoting the Debian gospel at the same time.
Comments?
Best Regards,
