Ubuntu Wants a Bigger Piece of Desktops, Servers
The 2007 road map for the Ubuntu Linux operating system includes continuing its focus on the desktop, paying more attention to the server and garnering additional corporate support.
Speaking at Ubuntu user conference UbuCon here at Google's New York complex on Feb. 16, Steve George, director of support and services at Canonical, said, "The view from the Ubuntu side is that Microsoft has too much of the market. We're going to continue rolling out and making Ubuntu easy to use on the desktop and we'll add increased focus on the server this year." Canonical is the sponsor of the Ubuntu project and maintainer of the Ubuntu Linux distribution.
"We want people to join with Canonical and be involved in Ubuntu," he said. "The second message is, yes, we have a free software interest, but we're also a commercial company and we have commercial interests. So we want companies to take a commercial interest in us."
