Challenges Facing Ubuntu
Despite its rise to stardom, Ubuntu is bound to suffer some growing pains. Some possible challenges
Ubuntu faces include:
Peaceful coexistence with Debian??”As a Debian-inspired distribution, Ubuntu was
originally quite dependent on Debian and continued to use many of the licensing, usability,
and stability features that are heavily emphasized in Debian Linux. Some members of
the Debian community initially saw Ubuntu as hijacking the hard work of the Debian
project. The success of Ubuntu, however, speaks for both itself and the technical excellence
and commitment of the Debian community. Ubuntu pushes its fixes and enhancements
back to the Debian community, as well as to the developers who support individual
open source packages.
