In recent years Canonical and Ubuntu have revolved around the business world, although not for that reason they have left the desktop world. Thus, in recent months, its Cloud platform has gained great importance, which has made Ubuntu is present in large companies such as IBM.
In the last months Canonical and IBM have worked hard to launch LinuxOne and a strong Software platform for it. LinuxOne is a range of servers, of great quality but with affordable prices, everything affordable that can be in the business world that works with Ubuntu.
LinuxOne will also get its fix of Ubuntu 16.04 LTS
With less than a month to go before the launch of the next LTS, Canonical has released a beta version for LinuxOne servers, so system administrators can test the news of the new version of Ubuntu without having to wait for its release. These improvements go through offering an optimization of the hardware as well as the addition of the OpenStack and Juju packages for those who want to use it. In turn, this announcement tells us that Ubuntu 16.04 is mature enough to be used on production computers, since if they release a special version for servers or rather for LinuxOne, with more reason to be able to use it on production computers. Though we must recognize that there are still many bugs to correct and I might even dare to say that some minor bugs will remain in the distribution after the release of the stable version.
If you are one of the lucky ones who have a LinuxOne team, in this link You can download the beta version for those teams, but possibly, like the rest, we have to settle for the generic version, the Ubuntu Server version.
Although it is not news that affects many users, the truth is that in one way or another Canonical comes to tell us that does not neglect its commitments and its products, especially LinuxOne. Something that is interesting if we are a company that is looking to buy a server for our company, although there are always other more affordable options Do not you think?
far out of my reach hahaha
