Miscs

Personal view of Ubuntu: Making ubuntu a distinguished desktop OS on the market is a very important goal, not only for the benefit of Ubuntu's users, but also for open source software in general. I believe that showing that a GNU/Linux based operating system can be so vital and rapidally evolving system much as any or even better than other commerical ones, and yet stay purely open sourchish and nurture back the community is the right way to the users' and corporates hearts for approval and general acceptence of open source software as a de facto standard. I believe that Ubuntu is one of the strongest takes at this direction yet, and I vision bright future awaits it.
