Mark Shuttleworth announced Ubuntu 4.10 "The Warty Warthog Release" on October 20, 2004. It's hard to believe that a decade has passed since then, but we are now getting ready for Ubuntu 14.10 "Utopic Unicorn."
It's difficult to anticipate early on if a Linux distro will become a success, even after just a few editions, but Mark Shuttleworth did something very different for the open source world. He brought money into the mix and didn't ask for something in return.
Well, Ubuntu never won any style awards but if you look at a distro that was well known for it's good looks then even a 6 year old version still looks great (actually better and more functional than many current distros):
