Ubuntu has long been in the background of more prominent open-source projects that has been silently creeping, making a name for itself. It is after all based on Linux that itself is based from of course Unix, one of the oldest languages that has ruled the realm of mini to mainframe computers in the infancy of the internet. One of the best benefits of Linux and other derivatives or flavors as they are called is the ability to strip unwanted parts of the base operating system leaving only the needed ones intact. This allows an old Pentium computer to become and FTP server making for a cheap and deployable form of technology in an old package.
Now who says you can’t teach an old dog new tricks! This is evident in the many other forms of projects over the internet such as web browsers and many other web-based systems that are even trying to reach the clouds. Life is a bit more interesting when we do hear of some phenomenal application being hosted on alternate OS’s that surpasses our expectations. We will be hearing a lot for sure from such developments and Ubuntu, now in it’s version 9.04 release continues to wow many in the next few years. Surely ?!
