Hello Mak,

I heard in an interview you took with an online radio that Canonical plans to certify third party proprietary applications that they work with Ubuntu. Also in this interview you say:
“I am very happy to work with Microsoft, or any other company, to improve the state of free software and the software industry as a whole. There are many things that we can collaborate on where we have shared interests – encouraging good telecommunications policy, for example.”

I was wandering if you also plan to cross-certificate Linux enterprise applications with other Linux vendors.
For example Landscape is an enterprise application made by Canonical. Would you consider to certify it as “works with Red Hat”?
And would you certify Red Hat applications as “work with Ubuntu”?

Is this sort of thing in your plans?

Mark Shuttleworth says: sure – though a better example might be JBoss. If Red Hat wanted to certify it on Ubuntu there would be no objection whatsoever.

I am from the Philippines and in a local government office. I am new to Ubuntu but I get the habit of learning more about it. I am the only user of this OS and its applications in my little town. Am sure I can do something for Ubuntu. I want other learn how to use it. I have little knowledge at the very beginning (late last year) but I am going strong learning through the web.

We do not have Ubuntu training available in the Philippines. (is there any?).

I like your commitment for opensource. it’s great to massive poor people. Your project is bridging the gap on IT divide between the rich and the poor.

Computers are sold cheaper by the government lately because of your free OS! !

Ubuntu on a Dell is a beautiful thing to see. I’ve tweaked a Dell 1420n laptop for a user and it is a sweet machine. I do wish the lack of Sun 64bit Java Runtime Environment would be solved. Then Dell could install 64bit without worries over the desktop browser experience. Also Kubuntu is what we use since each user gets to customize, so much more easily, every part of the desktop experience to exactly how they want it. That is very important from a power user perspective. I’m sysadmin for a lab full of computational chemists so we live and work in an accelerated graphics environment. I needed a distro that supported compilation of older software, had the latest desktop software, and allowed individuals to control every part of their computing experience via native sudo. Kubuntu fills that need better than OpenSuSE did so we switched. So Mark is very correct about Ubuntu variants filling particular niches. We still run VMPlayer and WinXP for some people to have apps they are familiar with. At this point, I think it is only the safe and familiar that keeps people running Windows in VMware our lab. I guess the reference management tool called Endnote for managing references in research papers keeps us running WinXP and MSOffice 2003 as well. That is a niche app that fills a need that has not been answered in the Linux world for OpenOffice or Abiword.

For over a year we have run two PCs, one with Ubuntu (7.04, 7.10 and now with 8.04) and the other with XP on it.

We have just recently reformatted the XP box and installed Ubuntu 8.04 instead. This was motivated by a large number of factors but the two primary ones were:

1. Microsoft’s release of the white paper “The Business Value of Windows Vista” where they tell all those XP holdouts not to wait for Windows 7, but switch to Vista now. Their main argument being that Windows 7 will be just like Vista. This is clearly a company that doesn’t get it.

2. The sparkling performance of Ubuntu 8.04 on our one PC. It does everything we want an OS to do and it runs all our hardware!

Ubuntu 8.04 is a great OS, better than XP and far better than Vista. People are starting to take notice in significant numbers. Please just keep producing newer versions that work as well as 8.04 and the success will grow! We are writing about Ubuntu, handing out CDs and getting the word out.

Thank you for Ubuntu, it has enabled us to go Windows-free!
