A CIO's View of Ubuntu

onehitwonder writes "Well-known CIO John Halamka has rigorously tested six different operating systems over the course of a year in an effort to find a viable alternative to Microsoft Windows on his laptop and his company's computers. Here is CIO.com's initial writeup on Halamka's experiences; we discussed their followup article on SUSE. Now CIO is running a writeup on Halamka's take on Ubuntu and how it stacks up against Novell SUSE 10, RHEL, Fedora, XP, and Mac OS X, in a life-and-death business environment." For the impatient, here's Halamka's conclusion: "A balanced approach of Windows for the niche business application user, Macs for the graphic artists/researchers, SUSE for enterprise kiosks/thin clients, and Ubuntu for power users seems like the sweet spot for 2008."

FYI: The Prince of Liechtenstein is more famous than John Halmaka by Google standards.

Results 1 - 10 of about 68,600. That is what I get for my name ("First Last", not /. alias).
7 of the links on the first page (out of 10, duh) are actually correct (really me).

So, what is my point ? I'm not famous. At all. If that guy only gets 64,500, he is pretty much a John Doe.
