Shuttleworth: Ubuntu Is Enterprise-Friendly
The first Ubuntu Live conference just kicked off here in Portland, Oregon with a keynote from Canonical founder and Mark Shuttleworth. His talk centered around how the free operating system his company funds and supports is capable of bringing the same values it brings to the desktop -- ease of use, performance and compatibility -- to the server.
Over the last two or three years, Ubuntu's popularity has exploded. Mark says Ubuntu is installed on between 6-12 million machines in over 200 countries (The exact number of installations is hard to determine since Ubuntu isn't sold, it's is given away and passed along between users). So now that the desktop has been conquered, Shuttleworth says the next key target is the enterprise market.
Linux is already driving into the enterprise environment through thin clients and specialized, dedicated systems.
