Ubuntu Cloud News

OpenStack in Ubuntu Server 12.04 LTS

As server edition gets five years of maintenance/support it is very good for companies running production deployments, writes Robbie Williamson. However, with this plan, users of OpenStack in 12.04 today will have to use the Essex edition of OpenStack released with 12.04 during this whole period. OpenStack team has come up with a new option for users of the LTS server edition: Canonical’s Ubuntu Cloud Archive. Williamson writes that users “can elect to enable this archive, and install newer releases of OpenStack (and the dependencies) as they become available up through the next Ubuntu LTS release (presumably 14.04)” and offers a chart and a FAQ section to help illustrate and explain some of their decisions.

In The Blogosphere

If my mother-in-law can use Ubuntu Linux, anyone can

This article written by Steven J. Vaughan-Nichols shares the story of giving his mother-in-law a computer with Ubuntu on it. “One of the great Linux desktop myths is that it’s hard to use. People still think that you need to be some kind of mad computer wizard to use Linux. What nonsense. Desktop Linux has been as easy to use as any of the mainstream desktop operating systems for over a decade. How easy is it? My 79-year old mother-in-law, Hulvia, can use it.”
