Shuttleworth Says Canonical Is Not Cash-Flow Positive
eldavojohn writes "Mark Shuttleworth, the millionaire bankroller who keeps Ubuntu going strong, has revealed 'Canonical is not cash-flow positive' just as version 8.10 (Intrepid Ibex) of the popular Linux distribution is released today. In a call, he said he 'had no objection' in funding Canonical for another three to five years. He did say, however, that if they concentrated on the server edition of Ubuntu that they could be profitable in two years."

Hi, I'm a netbook!
Is a PC.
Of course it's more of an Intel commercial than an MS one.

You're saying that it's impressive that women can use Linux? Tell me. Has the intelligence in women drastically increased in the last few years making it now possible for women to use Linux?
No he just thinks its impressive that he knows three women - that's more than any of his friends.
That's how good Linux is. Every year we absolutely go out there and dominate the market. We just give it back to MS at the end to promote our non-socialist credentials.
