Shuttlewprth out puts UBUNTU down ?

Forum Linux/Free BSD : General Discussion Shuttlewprth out puts UBUNTU down ?

Gents:

Blabla aside, Mark Shuttleworth is leaving Canonical in March. My guess is he's taking his Ubuntu subsidy with him. Since "C" cannot support itself I believe Lechy_ Lynx 10.4 LTS will be THE LAST buffed-out Ubuntu ... mebby a couple quality updates before the coding herd scatters to a last hurrah. Then darkness .....

Meanwhile the Debiolian long_toothed code_wolves are always prowling .... It's like seeing a 57-mm arrow with a KRYPTON warhead flying straight toward Supermans heart. SPLAT!

Last I checked he's stepping down as CEO but he's still working with Canonical.

Aye, randomizer is absolutely right. Nothing is going to change any time soon.

Please do not spread FUD

Semper Fi :)

Just because the booze are gone doesn't mean the party can't be a blast.

I'm sure some things will change, but I have the feeling Ubuntu will be around for a long time.

..... at least until Steve Ballmer decides to screw us all over.

Should M$ ( or donoevil_GOOGLE ) decide to BUY Canonical, who's to stop them ? What an Open-Source battle in-da-cloud$ : M$_Red-Hat vs Google-buntu . At least the Debian-coders would get paid, and LM_Sensors would work on mobos less<than 3-years old. !!

What would it say to Microsofts existing customer base if they did? MS have more than enough tie in with Novell that if they wished they could release an MS branded Linux without spending on Ubuntu. As for Google they already use a Linux core with a custom stack, something 2010 will doubtless bring more off.
