Sun supporterà Ubuntu sui Niagara

Pubblicato: 18 mag 2006 da Andrea de Palo

C’è del tenero tra Mark Shuttleworth e Jonathan Schwartz e le prove sono arrivate dall’ultima JavaOne Conference: prima l’intenzione di voler offrire ufficialmente Java a Debian e Ubuntu, poi la volontà di supportare Ubuntu sui server Niagara di Sun.

Schwartz e Shuttleworth hanno flirtato sul palco, scambiandosi messaggi d’intesa:

Schwartz: “Ubuntu is gaining a ton of momentum. It is arguably one of the most important, if not the most important Linux distro out there.”

(RedHat e Novell non contano, vero?)

E ancora:

Schwartz: “The odds are quite good that we will be aggressively supporting the work that Ubuntu is doing. In the hardware we ship, I don’t want to be Solaris only, because then I will just define my market to be smaller than the opportunity…I think you should expect to see more of the relationship, and stay tuned.”

Shuttleworth risponde:“I absolutely believe that our June 1 release will meet the quality and support standards of Sun customers.”

Non rimane che attendere il rilascio di Dapper Drake…
