When reading about Ubuntu you often see the terms Ubuntu desktop and GNOME used interchangeably. Both of these terms refer to the same thing—the default Ubuntu desktop is a version of GNOME itself. Of course, Ubuntu provides several other desktops, including KDE (in Kubuntu), Xfce (in Xubuntu), and a variety of others. Google is initially more focused on the consumer, but clearly is building a business play in the background, while Cisco’s play is more blended, as their VoIP phones shift more and more capability from the desktop and their new set top boxes make home PCs redundant. p> At the core of Google’s strategy to displace Windows is not a PC, but a Web-based set of products that make the OS, any OS, trivial, and focus the advancement on the Web were the value, and the revenue (which will flow to Google) will reside.

That was the message of Mendel Rosenblum, chief scientist and cofounder of VMware. Rosenblum's penguin love is not a new thing, either. He recounted for the LinuxWorld audience here that the very first version of VMware was launched on Linux in 1998. "We secretly used them [Linux users] as our beta testers," Rosenblum said.

However, in moving to Apple, I actually think they really want the user experience of the iPhone, and that is where Apple fell short with their new iMacs. Apple has really been lagging on PC hardware of late. Their latest iMacs are basically old iMacs re-skinned so they reflect the advanced thermal efficiency of the new Intel platform. HP is actually closer to providing the iPhone experience. What is kind of funny is that when I point this out to Mac guys I get back something like “Steve Jobs says Touch is stupid on a PC.Watch this YouTube video and tell me if this isn’t something you’d expect on an iMac. LinuxWorld San Francisco is the annual love fest for Linux aficionados. This year's iteration will attempt to share the love with virtualization and energy usage, as the show is being co-located with the Next-Generation Data Center (NGDC) conference.
