Why would someone start and maintain Linux distribution.

Friends;

Another stinker in the pond. 

I wanted to know what is the business model
behind ubuntu where $10M are "donated".

I can understand that the developments can be used
by the profit making organization as in
Fedora by RedHat
OpenSuSE by Novell
OpenSOLARIS by Sun Microsystem.

If all efforts in Fedora Core/OpenSuSE/ubuntu/SimplyMepis/ . . .. 
were concentrated towards "TheLinuxDesktop" THE only project
with concentrated efforts. What could be the result ?

If done aggressively I am sure ubuntu can take desktop 
users by storm. (I have myself given the ubuntu CD to 
few of interested people to give try to Linux.)

See you after weekend.

Regards

Yagnesh
