I just learnt from a friend of mine that I should stop using Ubuntu as Canonical is not contribiting to the developmemt of GNU/Linux systems as compared to other players. He also suggested that since most of its stuff, or nothing, is upstream so we cant trust it. Also his arguement was, being run by one man, who may tomorrow change his mind and stop support to Ubuntu, then what?
So, I am bringing this issue to the lista and have people's opinion as to how much Canonical has contributed and how wise is the decision to use Ubuntu? Here is the article of Greg Kroah-Hartman, maintainer of the USB and other subsystems in the Linux kernel mentioning Canonical contribution to be 100 patches viz a viz 230 by Mandriva and only 270 by Gentoo. Remember Ubuntu is quite young compared to Mandriva, Gentoo. http://www.kroah.com/log/linux/lpc_2008_keynote.html Please suggest. -- Swapnil Bhartiya http://ybfree.blogspot.com/ Mobile: 09910956518 ======================= I use Free Software, what do you use? ======================= _______________________________________________ ilugd mailinglist -- ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org http://frodo.hserus.net/mailman/listinfo/ilugd Archives at: http://news.gmane.org/gmane.user-groups.linux.delhi http://www.mail-archive.com/ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org/
