This article is about how to understand the application of Ubuntu Linux technology, the editor thinks it is very practical, so I share it with you to learn. I hope you can get something after reading this article.

In particular, it is worth mentioning that Ubuntu has a lot to learn, here we mainly introduce Ubuntu Linux, including Canonical and other aspects. Practical operation knowledge such as Linux desktop application, file system management, user management, process management, network management, security management and so on provides a guarantee for beginners of Linux to get started quickly. Canonical, which supports Ubuntu Linux, will reshuffle its senior personnel, and founder Mark Shuttleworth will hand over the position of CEO to Jane Silber, the current operating officer, by March 1 next year.

Shuttleworth will stay at the company, overseeing Canonical's desktop Ubuntu Linux products, cloud computing initiatives and partner meetings that are relevant to the company's business. Silber will devote more time to focusing on Canonical's commercial products.

Shuttleworth founded Ubuntu Linux and Canonical that year to challenge the Suse Ubuntu Linux of Red Hat and Novell, both of which are available in free versions and different commercial versions. But for Ubuntu Linux, both versions are the same, which means you don't have to pay for a tested and validated product. However, Canonical offers paid membership support services.

In addition to Ubuntu Linux server support, Canonical currently has two major revenue sources: operating system technology partnerships with netbook manufacturers (including the recent Chrome OS partnership with Google), and sales of support for Ubuntu cloud computing technology. The latter is developed jointly with Eucalyptus Systems.

Shuttleworth sold the Thawte Internet consulting company he founded to Verisign in 1999 and founded Canonical with the money. He takes a long-term view of the company's finances: we haven't made money yet, but I believe we're going in the right direction.

Canonical has been established for five years and currently employs more than 300 people.

Canonical releases a new version of Ubuntu Linux every six months, version 9.10, codenamed "Karmic Koala". Version 10.4, codenamed "Lucid Lynx", is scheduled to be launched in April next year and will be a version with long-term support (long-term support,LTS). Canonical launches a new LTS version every two years.

The above is how to understand the application of Ubuntu Linux technology, the editor believes that there are some knowledge points that we may see or use in our daily work. I hope you can learn more from this article. For more details, please follow the industry information channel.
