Money? Mark Shuttleworth's that is.

(Sound's cynical, but big-time funding gives any project a huge advantage.)



Sorry. I should have elaborated more.

I assumed he meant the Linux distro of choice among Linux _desktop-targeted_ distros...

Which is to say, Ubuntu vs. e.g. Mandriva or Mepis.

So I'm just speculating that if Mark Shuttleworth (and therefore, I think, Canonical Ltd.) had chosen either of those other two, they'd be leading Ubuntu right now.
