Canonical's Ubuntu 9.10 Server Edition will include private cloud capabilities, thanks to support for the open source Eucalyptus project, InfoWorld reports. Available for free download on Oct. 29, Ubuntu 9.10 Server Edition will introduce Ubuntu Enterprise Cloud, an open source cloud computing environment based on the same APIs as Amazon EC2. Users will be able to set up 10 to 15 private servers, leveraging the same capabilities they would use with Amazon, thereby allowing them to take their applications off the Amazon cloud and put them instead into a private cloud, or vice versa

Whoa, buzzword police.
There's no such thing as a private cloud. While the term is pretty ambiguous, minimally, storing something in "the cloud" refers to storing it with some third party, passing off the burden of storage to someone else. If the term is diluted to the point that one can also create their own "private" cloud, it then refers to nothing more than storing something remotely. We already have a word for that: a server.
