Today we will make a separate entry. Not that we lack technical inputs, is that sometimes, I also like to reflect on what we do. Doing a little memory, I can easily remember the first time I heard of Ubuntu. Back then I was a student and was not even in the computer industry was in 2004. A friend brought me some CD's in a cardboard envelope and told me it was a new distribution of Linux that had just left.
Obviously my first impression was terrible. Little documentation, lousy support, etc, etc. I never imagined it would reach the projection that "cropped version of Debian" 
Today, Ubuntu has become, almost without doubt, the most popular distribution (and media) computing, pulling the cart of Linux. Wherever you go, for days talking about Ubuntu. Every time someone says that a virus has entered the messenger, not far away, someone smiles condescendingly. not is curious that this, until recently was the opposite. Linux was a program used by the hackers to steal information, to anyone who will speak of this operating system is a smile paternal and patronizing in his face and went without interest to give him explanations. But look, we are increasingly, and now users are smiling every time you log in, make it more securely, without having to buy a new computer every two years or pay software licensing.
From this point of view, it has improved the lives of many people. What was unthinkable a few years ago, today can be a reality. For example, here in the laboratory of Ubuntu Linux to the Fund, as in many others, are conceived ideas for this to be a reality. Installing Linux on older machines, or customize an operating system to make it an OS virtually on demand are some of the examples we already have, others to come, such as installing a desktop free of Darwin (the OS X distribution that leads to below)
But it can not be good and there are always people trying to make him famous, something profitable.
Currently, companies are turning to open source and all (those who want to use the good publicity) take out products based on open source solutions. Strive to offer additional services to capitalize on a fenónemo coming back but now it has become fashionable.
Much has been said about the contribution of open source Ubuntu and Linux in general phenomenon, there has been speculation about whether the current pull comes from the hand of certain distributions or was a consequence absolutely inevitable. What is true (and I may be crucified for this) is that Canonical (to name which concerns us, but other distros also have private support) is a business and in essence, follows the philosophy of a company.
While probably a community of developers "to spare" fails to support a significant number of distributions, it is true that managed to keep at least a couple of them.
What remains to be seen is how it will end all this, I mean we end up paying for Ubuntu? There is .
