I have become an ardent fan of Ubuntu in the last few months. It is now, and will for some time to come, be the main topic of my blog posts.
I endorse Ubuntu because it has already established the strongest community around a Linux distribution that I have yet seen, and I've been working on open-source for close to a decade.
As part of that community I already have close to 70 beans, and hope to grow my pile even more.
Ubuntu is the best chance we open-source folks have yet had to truly take Linux to the mainstream.
Go for it!
