"Debian Alliance Eyes The Enterprise"

Part of the article is about  Ubuntu:

====================
It is unclear how much impact the DCC 3.0 and the DCC Alliance itself
will actually have on Debian GNU/Linux commercial adoption. Notably
absent from the members of the Alliance is the much hyped Ubuntu Linux
distribution, which is also Debian based. In a recent interview with
internetnews.com Ubuntu's CTO Matt Zimmerman said it would not
participate in the DCC Alliance because the company doesn't believe it
will be successful.

Ubuntu recently picked up a certification from IBM for DB2, which
likely has helped to put it on the enterprise radar screen without
being part of the DCCA.
=====================


And the final conclusion is:

"More than two creates certification and support problems for Linux
hardware and software vendors. Thus, I don't really see how Debian, or
any other Linux distribution, will challenge Red Hat and SUSE."
