In separate moves, Canonical and Novell are taking steps to bolster their respective Linux training and certification efforts. Here’s a look at the moves, and the implications for channel partners. As The VAR Guy has pointed out, Canonical and Novell each have been working hard to recruit more ISVs (independent software vendors) to compete more [...] Canonical and the Ubuntu community are busy polishing Ubuntu 10.04 (Lucid Lynx), a major upgrade set to debut in April 2010. But before the new Linux distribution arrives, the Ubuntu community will host an Ubuntu Global Jam from March 26 to March 28. The big question: Will customers and partners also join in the Jam? [...] Once again, The VAR Guy’s sources were right. Canonical, as our resident blogger expected, is set to announce some Ubuntu news at IBM’s Lotusphere conference in Orlando the week of January 18.

It’s the greenest release yet, with a heavy emphasis on power management and cloud computing tools. Ubuntu 9.10 includes Ubuntu Enterprise Cloud (UEC), a system designed to help users build and [...] Canonical is preparing to raise the storage limit on Ubuntu One, based on beta tester feedback from those who are using the online storage system.
