  • Measuring the Value of Canonical’s Launchpad    Date: September 7, 2010
    Canonical's most famous project is Ubuntu.  But Launchpad, another of the company's major endeavors, has been around just as long--even though many casual Ubuntu users may not be aware of its existence.  Here's a look at the value Launchpad offers, and where it fits into Canonical's present and future.

  • Back to School With Ubuntu?    Date: August 26, 2010
    Earlier today, ZaReason sent me a group email offering back-to-school specials on Ubuntu-based computers. I receive similar special offers from System 76 from time to time. Going forward, I hope Canonical finds a way to turn up the volume on these third-party Ubuntu system promotions. Here's why. And here's how.

  • Rethinking Canonical’s Ubuntu Business Strategy    Date: August 24, 2010
    If you'd asked us in 2007 or 2008 to summarize Canonical's grand strategy, our answer would have centered around beating Red Hat and Novell on the Linux server front.  But fast forward to the present and a lot has changed.  That's why it's time for a reevaluation of Canonical's goals and future, and its relationship with other major players in the Linux ecosystem.

  • Ubuntu 10.10 Maverick Meerkat: A Preview    Date: August 13, 2010
    Mid-August is upon us, and that can only mean one thing (corn on the cob and the Saint-Napoleon notwithstanding): the next release of Ubuntu is inching ever closer to maturity. With the debut late last week of the third alpha of Ubuntu 10.10, it's time to take a look at how Maverick Meerkat is shaping up.

  • Ubuntu Devs Discuss Backports Changes    Date: August 9, 2010
    I'm greedy when it comes to software: I like having code that works, but I also want the very latest stable versions of my applications.  Ubuntu does a good job satisfying the former demand, but it lags behind other distributions when it comes to keeping its repositories up-to-date.  Fortunately, this issue has caught the attention of Ubuntu developers as of late, who have been discussing changes to the backports system.  Here are the details.

  • Ubuntu: Eight Long-term Reality Checks    Date: August 4, 2010
    It's been roughly two-and-a-half years since Nine Lives Media Inc. launched WorksWithU, the independent guide to Ubuntu.

Here's an eight-point reality check.
