Ubuntu has received quite a lot of positive press, what do you think of this?
Yeah, we seem to have really struck a cord with people. I wouldn’t have expected at this early stage to be so widely reviewed and tested and have had such a positive reaction from the community. I guess that’s partly because we’re building on the very solid foundation of Debian and it is very popular, and also because we’re taking it in a whole new direction which has really struck a cord with people. How have you been able to so successfully win over Debian enthusiasts? I think they recognise that Ubuntu embodies all of the things that Debian embodies. It’s committed to being free. All of the applications are free software applications. It’s committed to the open source process, so the way we develop is very much the same way that Debian has grown up and the same way that many other community-driven distributions work, in the sense that all of the decisions are made online in e-mail and in forums so that all people can participate. Our conferences are all very open, so I guess it feel
