*David Sims, at TMCnet, reports that Canonical announced the availability of Sugar Open Source for Ubuntu 6.06 LTS. Sugar Open Source, created by SugarCRM, is a customer relationship management platform, emphasizing a "Web 2.0" architecture and Ajax interface. Sugar Open Source has been translated into 50 languages and has over 300 extensions which enhance and extend the application. "Demand for Ubuntu is growing rapidly among SugarCRM customers who require enterprise-level performance and reliability when running Sugar. Ubuntu offers a great user experience and vibrant community that complements SugarCRM's open source project," said John Roberts, Chairman, CEO and Co-Founder of SugarCRM. Read the full article: http://www.tmcnet.com/news/2007/04/23/2539502.htm *Stan Beer, at iTWire, writes that Ubuntu has the easiest install and "Ubuntu advocates are right when they say it's probably just as easy and maybe easier than installing Windows." For Linux to keep growing, Stan thinks white box vendors need to pre-install Linux and believes this will start happening with Dell. Corporate sponsors of the various Linux distributions should also spend as much money convincing hardware vendors the benefits of Linux as development. Read the full article: http://www.itwire.com.au/content/view/11532/1023/ *Steven J. Vaughan-Nichols, at Linux-Watch.com, compares the relationship of Sun and Ubuntu with Red Hat and JBoss. Sun and JBoss provide Java application server stacks. Mark Shuttleworth says "We don't want to eat up our way up the development stack; we partner with the best people...[Ubuntu/Sun vs. Red Hat/JBoss] is an interesting contrast. Red Hat feels they need to own the brand, while we partner." Sun wants to make Java an important Linxu language and thinks the "software stack [that comes with Ubuntu] is enterprise-ready and high performance." Read the full article: http://www.linux-watch.com/news/NS8037937963.html *Michael E. Callahan, at Tucows, reviews Ubuntu 7.04. He quotes Benjamin Mako Hill, who said, "Free software is produced by expert volunteers who make their time and work freely available - our goal is to ensure that anybody in the world can make the best use of that work, at no charge." Michael is impressed how clean and uncluttered Ubuntu is and how frequently it updates. He thinks Ubuntu is impressive and recommends it for users who want to try Linux. Read the full article: http://www.tucows.com/article/1512 *Steven J. Vaughan-Nichols, at Linux-Watch.com, wonders if Canonical can translate Ubuntu's popular success into business success. While Canonical has established partnerships with Sun for a Java application server stack, SugarCRM with its Sugar Open Source product, and IBM with its DB2 database, it is also expanding its support business. Canonical is close to announcing Ubuntu training and certification (Ubuntu Certified Professional) programs. To continue making progress, Canonical has to build relationships with key ISVs and IHVs like IBM and HP. Steven thinks Canonical has made a "solid first step into the enterprise."

*David Wolf, at Seek Alpha, blogs that Ubuntu 6 is better alternative to Windows XP.
