"That was straightforward because Ubuntu is the most open of the open source distributions."
"It’s very convenient to have a stable platform on which we can develop applications. Now we spend more time working on the fun problems. The things that we’re interested in. That’s why we all got into gaming in the first place."
"These laptops are the Swiss Army Knives of education computing. They give everyone equal access to the Internet – and a full and powerful computing device, instead of just a smartphone or a tablet."
"The solution had to be robust and powerful enough to process, manage, organise and deliver time-critical data to lawyers in order to prise them away from their box files. Our clients had to be convinced and, at the same time, we wanted to be free to make unplanned decisions and innovate quickly – Ubuntu OpenStack was the obvious choice."
"The cost savings speak for themselves but Ubuntu OpenStack makes sense for a number of other reasons. Firstly, the community. No other distribution has such an embedded, active and enthusiastic developer community. This gives us great confidence in the future evolution of the technology as a communitybased approach galvanises true innovation."
"With Ubuntu, we can be confident that we have an IT environment that is very reliable. We want our customers to focus on joule — not the technology it sits on — so the fact that they have no knowledge of the operating system is testament to its reliability. It’s doing its job."
"When we discovered that Canonical was offering a new, extended support package, we didn’t hesitate to sign up. ESM effectively rendered the security problem a non-issue."
"We use Ubuntu primarily because it is such a stable and reliable operating system. ESM builds on this foundation even further, and helps us deliver an even better service to our clients."
"From a customer support perspective, the Big Board software running on the Ubuntu server has become indispensable in the technical support structure of the JHU Campus."
"We wanted to be certain that Kubernetes would work with Ubuntu and our other tools. That made Canonical’s distribution an easy choice. Canonical offers a pure version of Kubernetes that works seamlessly with Ubuntu. What’s more, it’s cloud neutral, and we get the added benefit of Canonical’s extensive container expertise."
"Ubuntu’s versatility is superb. It gives us so much freedom when it comes to choosing hardware and software, and integrating the new technology with Bo is quick and easy."
"Getting up and running with Ubuntu was completely straightforward. Since we were already familiar with common Linux platforms, Ubuntu didn’t present any major challenges."
"A year ago, we made the decision to make the transition from Microsoft to Linux. The licence pricing was becoming too much for us, and we didn’t want to adopt Microsoft Vista. Ubuntu was the best distribution we tested. It doesn’t compromise on user experience, it’s solid, and it works with all our hardware."
"The university’s dual-boot computers, which are largely Dell, have seen more usage for Ubuntu than in Windows. User reaction was extremely positive, with even the most loyal Windows experts testing and appreciating the value of the new OS."
"We support open source solutions and have long been using Ubuntu. In switching our desktop computers to Ubuntu, we have reduced our total cost of ownership in a significant and meaningful way. We also like the fact freedom it gives us from licensing fees and the ease with which we can deploy and manage Ubuntu systems – and because it’s so easy to use, we had no problems with users accepting the new software. Productivity was unaffected."
