I have recently taken off the Xandros distro on my eee 701 and replaced with an Ubuntu derivative called Crunchee. Its based upon a more generic Ubuntu distro called CrunchBangLinux.
It is very lean and minimal - so wrong end of the spectrum for someone who likes Vista then
Developer count is not what matters. Linux has plenty of great developers. Marketing is what's missing to Linux today.
Sadly, if you google "Ubuntu Marketing", you land on an empty page (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MarketingTeam/News). Maybe someone needs to update Google's index:-)
Everyone here knows that Linux has the technical goods to take on Windows. But the cheerleading is missing. Where are the ads (with or without Jerry Seinfeld) and the glossy brochures at Best Buy?
So yes, Ubuntu being sustainable is a step in the right direction.
Interestingly a similar search "Fedora Marketing" points to a much more professional page - http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Marketing.
Anybody at Ubuntu listening?
