Ubuntu on Niagara, and Platinum Ringtones

I'd like to offer my heartiest congratulations to the Mark Shuttleworth and the Ubuntu community - what's Ubuntu? The fastest growing GNU/Linux distro out there (and as you know, volume matters). Dapper Drake is now officially available on the Sun's UltraSPARC platform, the world's only GPL microprocessor, fueling the world's most power efficient server platform. Expanding SPARC beyond Solaris to Linux opens new markets for everyone.

So... here's an invitation to developers and customers that don't want to move to Solaris, want to stay on GNU/Linux, but still want to take advantage of Niagara's (or our Galaxy system's) energy efficiency - click here, we'll send you a Niagara or Galaxy system, free. Write a thorough*, public review (good or bad - we just care about the fidelity/integrity of what's written - to repeat, it can be a good review, or a poor review), we'll let you keep the system. Free.

And if you want proof that volume matters, I thought this was interesting. The world's first platinum ringtone (known as a "blingtone") - with more than a billion wireless subscribers in the world, my bet is they're going to need to define a category above platinum...

Focus on volume, value follows... and with that in mind, where are my manners: HAPPY BIRTHDAY OpenSolaris!.
