Ubuntu? Not for me, thanks
I have strong reservations about Ubuntu, its motives and the way it is shaping up. The deal its parent company, Canonical, has just struck with commercial Linux company Linspire (formerly Lindows) to use commercial software from the Click and Run warehouse owned by Linspire is just the latest indication that, with Ubuntu, all is not as it seems.
Maybe it's the cynic in me, but when someone christens a product with a name that means "humanity to others" I do tend to be a bit sceptical. More so when the producer of that product has his company registered in a prominent tax haven, the Isle of Man. The two don't seem to quite match up.
