Ubuntu 10.04 was officially released today. I like Ubuntu 10.04 most, but as a Linux expert, it is a little too simple for me, but it is very suitable for Linux beginners. Linux distributions can be downloaded and used for free, but this time, the Ubuntu-based company Canonical hopes to make money with the latest LTS Ubuntu Linux.

Canonical CEO Jane Silber and founder Mark Shuttleworth, vice president of product design, admitted this idea openly at a recent press conference. Silber is happy to tell everyone that, lenovo from China and sharp from Japan are preparing to release a notebook with a built-in Ubuntu Desktop version.

Shuttleworth also pointed out that the basic design concept of Ubuntu is to make it more "lightweight", which contains two meanings: one is easy distribution, and the other is Fast deployment on servers and desktops.

But according to Shuttleworth, the real breakthrough of Ubuntu this time is cloud computing. He said that Ubuntu 10.04 has two major advantages: the first is that the deployment and configuration speed is quite fast, the second is its scalability. Shuttleworth said: "For enterprise users, Ubuntu is the most suitable platform for speed and scalability on Amazon EC2 and Rackspce ".

Shuttleworth also said he has been committed to "Making Canonical profitable in the enterprise market" and he knows it is not easy, but he has demonstrated Ubuntu in the commercial market and thinks Ubuntu is ready, the profit target can be achieved.

Since Ubuntu 10.04, private application software vendors need to authenticate their programs on the Ubuntu server version, according to Canonical, nearly 100 organizations have already said they want to authenticate their programs on this platform, including Alfresco, Ingres, IBM, VMware, Zimbra, Yahoo! And many other companies are following up.

Silber said in a statement: "industry analysts and users are very optimistic about this version. In fact, Ubuntu 10.04 LTS has made many breakthroughs, we have integrated the significant technological advances made since the last stable version. For us, we are really excited. I believe our partners and users are equally excited, I want to see Ubuntu widely deployed as a data center and cloud computing infrastructure ".

Canonical has also announced that it has become a partner with multiple advanced hardware and software vendors. In terms of hardware, it is striking that Dell has announced that it is going to launch its cloud server PowerEdge-C product, supports Ubuntu Server and Ubuntu Enterprise Cloud.

Adobe is willing to cooperate extensively with Canonical in terms of software. Anup Murarka, director of Adobe Flash Platform technology strategy and Partner Development, explained in a statement, "we are working with Ubuntu and other partners to make Flash Player 10.1 Linux get Ubuntu 10.04 LTS certification. Ubuntu 10.04 is an exciting release ". The partnership between Adobe and Canonical will definitely upgrade the battle between Adobe and apple.

Through efforts, Likewise enables CIFS (Common Internet File System, general Internet File System) servers and AD (Active Directory, Active Directory) to be integrated with Linux, these features are also included in Ubuntu. In a statement, Likewise CEO Barry Crist said: "With Ubuntu 10.04 LTS, users can quickly integrate on their desktops and servers, we support Ubuntu for Enterprises ".

Although Ubuntu is not known as RHEL or SUSE in the enterprise, Canonical has been working hard, and Canonical partners have been working hard. Ubuntu's policy to surround servers from the desktop is correct, we have reason to believe that with the advent of Ubuntu 10.04, the competition between RHEL and SUSE will become more intense.
