Sun Puts its Weight Behind Ubuntu Linux

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the stepping-stones-to-success dept.

fak3r writes "Sun today announced that they are putting their weight behind Ubuntu Linux. While Ubuntu has been many people's desktop Linux choice for a few years now, with its Debian heritage, you can see what kind of server it could be. Slap that on the new Sun 1Us with the new Niagra T1's CPU, the one that'll have four, six or eight cores each, and go to town."

    As a very happy Ubuntu user, I'm scared.

    But it could be worse, it could be "Ubuntu, supported by SGI"

      Oh, c'mon - it won't be that bad... you'll just have to get your files from hard drives named "/dev/rdsk/c0t0sUpercalifragilistic" and things like that.

      At least you won't have to hunt down and install j2se. /P

    A GUI, so that MSCEs can use it.
