Summary: Open Season interview with Mark Shuttleworth
,----[ Quote ]
| Interestingly, one of the interviewers asked who Ubuntu's biggest competitors
| are. Shuttleworth defied expectations by stating that Ubuntu really isn't
| competing against other major Linux distros -- really it's a competition
| between the proprietary and open source ideologies.

Don't look to Linus Torvalds for leadership
,----[ Quote ]
| Linus Torvalds seems to be trying very hard to make the latest Linux kernel
| update as boring as possible.

| [...]
|
| Last week, for example, Steve Ballmer confirmed many users' fears by saying
| the company wants compensation from anyone who isn't using Novell's Suse or a
| distribution provided by one of its other partners. That's a lot more direct
| than couching its alliance with Novell as an exercise in interoperability. It
| means that if you don't use Linux in a way that Microsoft approves, you face
| potential litigation. Someone needs to provide a response to that. Who better
| than the operating system's creator?

Why can't he be vocal like Shuttleworth?
