LINUX OUTFIT Ubuntu is planning to release the enterprise version of its distribution by Thursday.

Dapper Drake will be supported for five years and is designed to be for enterprise use. This is in comparison to the 18 months support that you will get for Unbuntu's desktop Breezy Badger.

Normally Ubuntu chucks out a new version of its operating system every six months, and so having such a long support period is a bit of a first.

The big idea is that it will get Ubuntu, which is seen more as a personal desktop version of Linux, into the more lucrative enterprise market, which is dominated by Red Hat, Debian and SUSE.

INQ Poll

Authorities in several countries raided Megaupload recently, shut down all of its services, seized hundreds of servers and arrested several of its executives on criminal charges.

Do you think the move was justified?

Yes, companies should suffer an immediate death penalty upon being accused of copyright infringement.

Yes, the coppers said the company was breaking the law so it must be guilty.

No, the company and the people accused are innocent until proven guilty.

No, the company had millions of customers who have been harmed by having access to their data files cut off.

I don't care, I never used Megaupload anyway.
