"I'm writing to propose a six week delay in the release date of Dapper, in order to do additional validation, certification, localisation, and polish. Work towards our feature goals for Dapper is very much on target. However, in some senses Dapper is a 'first' for us, in that it is the first 'enterprise quality' release of Ubuntu, for which we plan to offer support for a very long time. I, and others, would very much like Dapper to stand proud amongst the traditional enterprise linux releases from Red Hat, Debian and SUSE as an equal match on quality, support and presentation." And on a related note, Ubuntu now runs on Sun's UltraSPARC T1 (Niagara) processor too.

this could really help Ubuntu. Put up with a six week delay and get a highly polished distro released.....get the big contracts and rollouts that Ubuntu should have....get more developers working on the extended 'enterprise' features some want 'out of the box' and with those extra developers, get back onto the Mar/Oct release schedule.
Of course, it could all go pear-shaped and we end up with a yearly Jun release schedule.....
