>Joe Panettieri, workwithU, gives some early details of Dell beginning to t=
o show "Lucid Lynx Some Love" in this article. "According to=
Dell's Direct2Dell website: 'Dell Linux Engineers will hit the roa=
d to Dallas, TX to participate in the upcoming Ubuntu Developers Summit for=
Lucid Lynx (UDS-L).'"=A0 Joe points out the signs of progress bet=
ween Dell and Canonical with the following:<br>
<br>=A0* Dell and Canonical in mid-September 2009 introduced Ubuntu Moblin =
Remix Developer Edition on Dell netbooks.<br>=A0* Canonical CEO Mark Shuttl=
eworth visited Dell=92s Austin, Texas headquarters in late September 2009.<=
br>
=A0* Dell=92s U.S. website in October 2009 finally re-introduced a desktop =
PC with Ubuntu pre-installed.<br><br>Joe points out that Dell is studying t=
he Ubuntu 10.04 and LTS release that will be supported by Canonical for 3 y=
ears on the desktop and 5 on the server.=A0 Joe sees a lot of potential in =
the future for this endeavor.=A0 Let's see what comes out from Dell abo=
ut their involvement in UDS this week.=A0 See what you think read this arti=

ules should be changed =3D=3D=3D<br>
<br>Sam Varaghese wants to see Ubuntu go from a 6 month release schedule to=
a annual release schedule. The first reason he gives, is so that no showst=
opping bugs will show up in future releases like they have in 9.04 and 9.10=
. Second, he points out that with Ubuntu's move to the Debian testing s=
tream instead of the Debian unstable stream will require a slower release s=
chedule. We are also informed of the opinion that the 6 month release sched=
ule is used mainly to give Ubuntu the impression of being in perpetual moti=
on. The third reason given is GNOME's major changes that are planned fo=
r 3.0. Sam Varaghese informs us that 1 month between the release of GNOME a=
nd Ubuntu's release is not enough time to work out the problems that wi=
ll arise from the changes in GNOME.<br>

boot Ubuntu 9.10 =3D=3D=3D<br><br>J.A. Watson doesn't like the 60-secon=
d delay that has been added when you shutdown and reboot in 9.04 and 9.10. =
We are also told that the option in 9.04 to turn this delay off was missing=
in 9.10, but he gives us a way to turn this off in the GNOME configuration=
settings. He then starts what he calls a "rant" and asks why thi=
s feature was added, and why the option to turn it off was hidden in the GN=
OME configuration settings.<br>

<br>Stefano Forenza notes that Ubuntu is considering a music store for Ubun=
tu 10.04.=A0 The store would be hooked up to Ubuntu One, thus the name &quo=
t;Ubuntu One Music Store".=A0 He raises a few interesting questions in=
his blog, such as: what type of commercial agreements were reached with th=
e music companies, what format the music would be in (mp3 or open formats),=
and what about DRM?<br>

u One Music Store: A Real Business? =3D=3D=3D<br><br>Joe Panettieri of Work=
s With U voices his opinion of Ubuntu offering a Music Store in Lucid Lynx.=
=A0 This, according to Launchpad, is a project to deliver the ability to pu=
rchase music from inside a desktop music player.=A0 He goes on to ask 3 que=
stions:<br>
<br>=A0* Can Canonical actually make money from the Ubuntu One Music Store?=
<br>=A0* Is the music store something completely new, or is it a simple con=
nection to existing online music stores?<br>=A0* Is Canonical stretching it=
self too thin by continuing to launch more and more services.<br>
<br>Joe seems to feel that this is a good move for Ubuntu, as music is a bi=
g drawing card for on-line use.<br><br><a href=3D"http://www.workswithu.com=

<br>=3D=3D=3D Ubuntu's Canonical and Google partner to create Chrome =
=3D=3D=3D<br><br>Steven J. Vaughan-Nichols, the Cyber Cynic writing on the =
Computerworld blogs, announces that Ubuntu is partnering with Google to cre=
ate Chrome.=A0 This is a major project, under contract, where Canonical is =
contributing engineering for the netbook operating system.=A0 He feels that=
this doesn't impact Ubuntu, since Ubuntu is for general purpose machin=
es, and Chrome is for a specific goal on specific hardware.<br>

<br>Christopher Tozzi of Works With U addresses the questions concerning Ca=

that Canonical may be targeting the wrong people.=A0 Free CDs are now being=
sent only to those who are already Ubuntu members.=A0 But Christopher feel=
s that this may be discriminating against those who don't have the tech=
nical ability to burn ISOs, or the bandwidth to download them:=A0 in short,=
the very people that need the service the most.=A0 Read his views at the l=

=3D=3D=3D<br><br>liliputing reports via OMGUbuntu, that Ubuntu Netbook Remi=
x (UNR) is being renamed Ubuntu Netbook Edition (UNE). The fact that the te=
rm "remix" implies and "respun" version of the operatio=
n system and the word "Edition" would mean a fully supported, ful=
ly-featured version of the OS. So what this renaming means is yet to be see=

more in the edition.=A0 Time will tell.=A0 Take a look into the article an=
