DerStandard.at runs a very open interview with Mark Shuttleworth - the founder of the Ubuntu project, where he is asked his opinion on a variety of topics, the chief among them not surprisingly that about Ubuntu Linux and the path it is going to take in the future. Ubuntu is by far the most popular GNU/Linux distribution and has held the top post for well over two years now on Distrowatch's most popular Linux distribution list.
The interview touches upon a number of things such as the advantages of using Ubuntu in the enterprise over RedHat or SuSE Linux which have better tools for centralized management which Ubuntu lacks at this juncture, His thoughts on OLPC and the potential role that Ubuntu can play in it, on why Launchpad - a software developed by Ubuntu has not yet been released as open source, why he feels that compiz and beryl are not yet ready for being integrated with Ubuntu by default, his thoughts on Debian, its relevance for Ubuntu and so on.
At the least, his answers are quite interesting which makes reading the whole interview a worthwhile exercise.
