The Ubuntu Live conference began in Portland Oregon July 22nd, and Ars Technica has coverage of Mark Shuttleworth’s keynote from the conference.
Shuttleworth revealed many interesting things about the future of Ubuntu, especially the server version of Ubuntu:
- Canonical wants to do same for Ubuntu server as it did for the Desktop version - make things “just work”
- KVM and Xen will receive love for easy virtualization
- Next Long Term Support (LTS) release will be Ubuntu 8.04
- LTS releases approximately every two years
And couple interesting notes about the next release, Ubuntu 7.10, also known as Gutsy Gibbon:
- Gutsy server edition will include Ebox platform, more details about the integration at Ubuntu wiki and Gutsy blueprints page at Launchpad.
- Desktop version of Gutsy will have Compiz enabled by default (if the graphics card has enough power to display the effects)
In a nutshell the future of Ubuntu, and Linux in general, is pretty interesting.

LinuxMCE is a free, open source add-on to Ubuntu including a 10′ UI, complete whole-house media solution with pvr + distributed media, and the most advanced smarthome solution available.
Absolutely fantastic introduction video available here. Though it’s quite biased comparison against Windows Media Center, it demonstrates LinuxMCE’s features pretty well.
If you’ve ever considered building a Linux Media Center box, LinuxMCE is definitely the software bundle to use with it. More screenshots and videos here.
