Interview with Jeff Waugh On Ubuntu Linux (OSNews)
OSNews talks with
Ubuntu team member Jeff Waugh about this new project. "
What are its main differences from Debian? Why would someone pick Ubuntu over Debian or any another distro?"
Jeff Waugh: At its core, Ubuntu *is* Debian. Our six-monthly releases are based on Debian's "sid" development branch, with lots of bugfixing and integration work (which goes back to Debian), and some special additions such as the very latest GNOME releases. Ubuntu 4.10, which we call the "Warty Warthog" shipped GNOME 2.8 in our Preview release last night. :-) We provide 18 months of high-impact, dataloss and security support with every release.
