I think the one thing thats gonna successfully define the future of Linux is going to Ubuntu. I remeber watching distrowatch.com as suddenly the #1 and #2 distros got dethroned. I turned from a wtf happened to hard core Ubuntu user quickly. Ever since ubuntu appeared I am amazed at how fast its taken and evolved. Also its interesting to see Dell adopt it and sell PCs with it on there. Ubuntu has proven itself good and well liked. I've had lots if success using it for a server OS. I've achieved uptime and stability I have never thought possible without FreeBSD. Don't get me wrong FreeBSD is great, but maintaining it is a pain. Ubuntu's high profile status is gonna allow it to really be a driving force behind the future of Linux. My question is why have I not heard the words "redhat" or "fedora" for a good while? I monitor the Linux world like a hawk thanks to google alerts. I think Ubuntu did Linux right and will continue to prove this and show the world this. Ubuntu is a good alternative Windows, but then again it will take time and effort to loosen the hold Windows has. Either way good things are gonna happen.
