Ten commandments for Ubuntu

| But that's Ubuntu's big advantage. It plays by different rules. Community
| rules. It's not the distribution "du jour," as Tim O'Reilly queried Mark
| during the Executive Radar session. This one has a strong future. But not by
| becoming RHEL or SUSE, great as those distributions are. Rather, by
| continuing to be itself.

How Canonical Stays on the Light Side

| By focusing on enabling users, and keeping the commercial interests of
| Canonical separate from the interests of the community, Shuttleworth hopes to
| avoid the fate of another company who once upon a time was very interested in
| user enpowerment.
|
| "I think what ultimately went wrong... was the desire people have to win
| supersedes all else. As soon as you get that, then you get a sort of
| pathological level of behavior where people's actions and the decisions that
| they are making ensures they will continue to win," Shuttleworth said.
|
| That company? Microsoft.
|
| Clearly Shuttleworth does not to walk the same path as Ubuntu anCanonical
| become more successful with the passing days, and his company reflects the
| vigilance to avoid such a fate.
