"Ubuntu has the strongest chance to take Linux mainstream" (TechRadar)

TechRadar has an interview with Samba hacker Jeremy Allison covering a few different topics, including some strong opinions about Ubuntu. While that opinion gets the headline, others, such as his take on Samba development, are also interesting. "We couldn't have done this if we'd tried to do it in a proprietary way — it simply wouldn't be what it is. You watch people who've tried to do stuff like Samba in a proprietary way, and all those products failed. Had we not invented Samba, somebody else would've invented it and they would've put us out of business."
