My Iranian relatives are moving as much of their assets outside of Iran while they can.  They feel the fake Ayyatollah is nearing the end of his rule and that once he's ousted the secret police will go on a rampage.

It's beginning to look like Unix everywhere, Mac OS, Android, iOS, RIM's Play thing tablet.  What an exciting time.

And of course Ubuntu itself will always be debian at it's heart.  Linux legacies are long and strong.

Firstly, its Ubuntu (only one vowel in there, no need to add in extras), and secondly, there is no such thing as a "heavily modified" Ubuntu.  It will be ubuntu, drawing from ubuntu or medibuntu repos, and perhaps if BillyBob can afford serverspace somewhere, a "cawmmehDourOHS" repo that hosts their "Heavily Modified" Gnome DE.

As for writing their own monolithic or microkernel from scratch to beta testing in a year?  OH!  and all of the software (Windowing environments, device drivers - and good luck getting Nvidia/Intel/ATI to release the full HW specs so you can write your own!) that runs on top of it?  Yeah.  Gonna happen. :lol:

I think he's saying they want to be another Apple, with their own app store and legions of mom & pop coders.  Or maybe he just watched Steve's presentation and is confused.

Once Linux is in place, Linux is all it will be. And Linux does not an Amiga make.

My humble opinion, of course.

Android on the Desktop?  Might actually make sense, especially with a All-in-one like the HP Touchsmart.

But it's hard to see what party C=USA wouldn't be late to.  Introducing new desktops in the beginning year of the tablet wars.  Introducing media pcs in the year of internet TVs, etc.

They should launch C=Jamaica man.
