Interview: Malcolm Yates Of Ubuntu Linux Vendor Canonical, Sep 28, 2006

TechWeb recently spoke with Malcolm Yates, Canonical's ISV and partner manager, about Ubuntu's place in the rapidly-evolving enterprise Linux ecosystem. Yates discussed the pivotal role Canonical's nascent ISV and OEM partnerships will play in deciding whether Ubuntu earns a spot alongside the likes of Red Hat and Suse -- and he explained what Ubuntu, in return, can offer Canonical's enterprise Linux partners.

Despite a very limited commercial market for Linux as a game platform, the top two companies in the 3D graphics chipset market, ATI and NVIDIA, officially support the operating system.
