Five Trends at Southern California Linux Expo

| 5. Ubuntu for Servers: Yes, you know The VAR Guy already runs Ubuntu on one
| of his desktops. And Jono Bacon, Canonical’s Ubuntu Community Manager, will
| offer a keynote focused on Linux desktops. But listen closely, folks. Much of
| the buzz around Ubuntu is now expanding to the server. Dell, for one, is
| certifying its servers to run Ubuntu. Watch for Canonical to increasingly
| promote Ubuntu as a server platform for LAMP-oriented solutions.

| community such as KLDP, mid 2000 by bloggers, small communities. In late
| 2000, it will be open source business, strong communities and full time open

linux.conf.au: What is Novell doing here?
,----[ Quote
| I also raised the issue of Novell employees like Miguel de Icaza and Nat
| Friedman who appear to be pushing further and further to duplicate
| technologies which Microsoft has developed and offering totally unconvincing
| explanations as to why they are doing so.
|
| [...]
|
| These arguments notwithstanding, it is a fact that overlooking what Novell
| has done tends to dilute the whole message of FOSS. Novell, obviously, is
| hoping that, as public memory is woefully short, it will be able to wriggle
| its way back into the community. Providing such leeway is, in my opinion, a
| big mistake.
