Ubuntu is a good distro, and has done in months what they failed to do in years. Those f*** u t-shirts and rabid anti ubuntu stance only makes them look worse. Its not like they are being forced to use it or anything, they might even ignore the changes and bug fixes. To each their own.

I see many distros now using ubuntu instead of debian as a base. Clearly something is being done right in canonical; not to mention distrowatch; and the outstanding support in forums, chats and pages where you are not treated to the typical RTFM attitude of “certain” communities.

I use Debian at work, and Ubuntu at home. Have used Debian since potato, one thing is clear: It will not conquer the desktop, Ubuntu will. Debian is perfectly fine in a server, but for end users, its so absurd, that it makes using a distro like slackware or gentoo look much simpler in comparison.

So if you change your video card, do you do dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg and answer 20 unrelated questions or simply edit a single word in a single line at /etc/X11/xorg.conf ? Come on Debian fanatics, get a clue; this is not supposed to be a cult. Ubuntu / Canonical are helping the community a lot maintaining 2000+ packages with full time paid developers, What is this childish jealously?

I congratulate Ian for staying true to his ideals and being of true help to the community. We are finally getting there.

Ian Murdock uses Ubuntu! That horror! The world will finish! Oh, please, stop the demagoguery, until guru of the users of linux has his partition in Windows to play his counter strike, that is bad? perhaps to be the founder and creator of a distribution linux the cruifixer and forces to him to use always this distribution? We are criticizing just like what we tried to be conceited, the freedom of election. Oh… I congratulate Ian not to close itself in band nor to be a intolerant linux user, thing that is to be thankful and to admire.

Me resulta cuanto menos curioso, que el fundador de Debian, use Ubuntu (distro basada en Debian) en su PC personal.

Right now, I do a subpar job of keeping my calendar up-to-date, because the incentive is low. The only audience for it apart from myself are my three colleagues, and they know how to reach me via IM and phone if something’s not totally current. But if all of a sudden I have the ability to share my calendar on a wider basis – say through something like Google Apps free/busy (speaking of, if any of you have a script that will sync an iCal into Google Calendar let me know)- the dynamics of my interaction with that calendar change dramatically. All of a sudden I’d have a reason to put details like flight schedules and so on in there. I’d be surprised if some of the coming calendar advances don’t encourage greater calendar activity much as blogging has spurred publishing. […]

You can spy Ubuntu’s logo in the top left. Ian confirms that this is indeed an Ubuntu desktop in the comments. I was glad to see it, and thought I’d share it with you. […]
