A little less than a week ago, GNOME co-founder and Microsoft admirer
Miguel de Icaza called me a jihadist. I'm not exactly sure what he

April 24 will be a red letter day for the Ubuntu project. It will be three-and-a-half years since the experiment began and the release that day of Hardy Heron, as version 8.04 is known, will be a defining moment. This could well be the release that either makes or breaks the project.
