Providing location information to thousands of mobile phone users is all in a day's work for Ubuntu Linux, which has replaced popular enterprise distribution Red Hat for Locatrix Communications' mission-critical workloads.............

Ironically, Mark White used to work for Red Hat and even started the Asia Pacific operations, based in Australia.

"Ubuntu's stability is the key thing and it has been great," he said. "It's cost effectively a great platform in a maximum uptime environment. [We] will certainly use it as a base platform as we move overseas."
