Mark Shuttleworth, the founder of Ubuntu Linux, wants desktop Linux to “shoot beyond the Mac.” Can it?
Shuttleworth was speaking to the open-source faithful at OSCon in Portland, Ore., but I’m sure even they had their doubts.
The Linux desktop is a good, workable one. I’ll take any modern Linux desktop over Windows Vista any day of the week, and the better ones do everything that Windows XP SP3 can do and more. Beating the Mac though? That’s another matter.
