Ubuntu goes enterprise -- From ComputerWorld , August 18, 2008

'Malcolm Yates, Canonical's independent software vendor alliance manager, said in an interview, "A lot of our customers like the Ubuntu desktop and use it for software development. Now, they want to roll it out to the server. We want to make sure that, when they roll out Ubuntu on the server, they find it equally joyous." By this, Yates explained, "we want to make it as easy to install software on the Ubuntu server as it is to install the Ubuntu desktop. For example, we're getting ready to release DB2 and Informix database management systems that come as DEB packages, which will install and do basic set-up with only a couple of clicks or a single command line instruction."' http://www.computerworld.com/action/article.do?command=viewArticleBasic&articleId=9112882&source=NLT_LIN&nlid=40

Ex-IBMer, IIRC, but he seems to have dressed down well. :o) -- Cheers, Obnoxio the Clown http://obotheclown.blogspot.com
