"For the last 12 months, I have used Ubuntu 8.04, 8.10, and 9.04 as my primary OSes. I remain a very happy Linux convert, but I worry that Ubuntu is being unevenly developed. Certain areas have seen great improvements over the last 12 months, while other areas have languished or been largely ignored. The purpose of this article is not to whine or rant, but to bring some perspective to the evolution (or lack thereof) that Ubuntu has experienced between versions 8.04 and 9.04."

On the server, Linux has 30-40% of the market and has frankly excellent hardware support for server hardware. The current strategy works for Linux here. For example most NIC drivers are now developed and supplied by the hardware manufacturers because they want to sell lots of NICs to server vendors and they know one of the "Must have" bullet points will be Linux support.
