For all Ubuntu fans out there!

Post by JDW »

Personally I use ArchLinux, but I still have a lot of admiration for what Mark Shuttleworth and Canonical have done with the Ubuntu project by making it a major factor in popularizing the Linux ecosystem. Watch the video after the link for a pleasant demonstration of Ubuntu Netbook Remix (9.10).

P.S. : The animated (10 min) movie "Big Buck Bunny" used in the demo was made using the open source Blender tool.

It's nice to see some main stream support by hardware vendors for Linux. From Linux netbooks have come and to Linux netbooks shall return.

Interesting words from Mark Shuttleworth:
