I know we give Ubuntu and Canonical a hard time but I think we’ve got a lot to thank them for. They pretty much spearheaded the movement to change the image of Linux being purely for geeks, and I think there’s a lot of non-enterprise software support that simply wouldn’t be there without them drumming up interest.

Mark Shuttleworth is South African, however Canonical is based out of London.
