Canonical turns 20 |
|
It has been 20 years since the Canonical company was formed and started work on the Ubuntu distribution - itself nearing its 20th anniversary. Canonical entered the desktop space around the same time Red Hat had announced it was discontinuing Red Hat Linux (a popular desktop distribution at the time) in favour of focusing on its more business-oriented Red Hat Enterprise Linux product. Canonical came along and filled this void, creating what quickly became the most commonly used desktop Linux distribution. ZDNet takes a look back at Canonical's beginning: "From the get-go, Canonical's mission was audacious: To create an operating system that was as feature-rich, user-friendly, and accessible as its proprietary counterparts. Released in October 2004, Ubuntu Linux quickly became synonymous with ease of use, stability, and security, bridging the gap between the power of Linux and the usability demanded by end users." |
