Hello Everyone, I am doing a presentation on Ubuntu Server at a local user group and had some questions for the server group. The focus of the presentation is to highlight the server, canonical commercial support and the Landscape offering.
Questions:::: *Are the official server hardware vendors still Sun (Fire series) & Systems76? Are there plans for expanding these IHV relationships to any other hardware vendors like IBM, Dell, HP, etc.? *What software packages for core network services fall under a generic support contract? I.e. what core software packages fall under a support contract? Samba, Sendmail, Bind, OpenLDAP? Or does support really only cover the OS alone? *Will the current relationship with commercial ISV's (Independent Software Vendors) be expanded and if so to whom? I am speaking in terms of commercial software open or otherwise. *What is the strategic direction of the server team in addressing bug #0 in the enterprise? I have read all the information on this but I would like to get an official response on the direction from a server angle. These are concerns I have heard from potential customers so I would like to address them and hopefully drive more sales/adoption. Any help you can give is so very appreciated. =) P.s. Bravo on all of your great work on the server! I owe you all a beer.
