Why Debian is different
By: Sam Varghese
As the Debian GNU/Linux project marks 15 years of existence, how much has it diverged from the intentions with which it set sail?

It's summer in the United States which means Google's annual season of code is in swing. This event has run over the past three years and is by all measures a successful happening. That it even happens is phenomenal enough and this year there's many great projects that will benefit, covering a wide range of fundamental open source applications as well as notable causes like the One Laptop per Child project.

Why we love Ubuntu Linux (or maybe we don't)
By: David M Williams
With Ubuntu 8.04 now on the streets, it’s time to catch a breather and reflect on just why Ubuntu gets all the hype. Why is Ubuntu the hottest brand in Linuxdom at this time? Why is it the distro most frequently advocated? I posed these questions to readers and LUG members; here’s the feedback from real-life Linux users.

New Debian leader aims for better communication
By: Sam Varghese
In many ways the Debian GNU/Linux project is unique among all the distributions that dot the Linux landscape. Apart from putting out a high-grade distribution, it has served as the base for a number of others - Ubuntu and Knoppix, to name just two - which have had a big impact on the growth of the Linux ecosystem.

Ubuntu: next release will be the critical one

Debian made this developer unhappy
By: Sam Varghese
It's normal to build up a mental picture of a person based on what you know about them, especially if you plan to meet that person. At times, the image is not too far removed from reality. At others, the mental image and reality could not be more different.
