Canonical head and chief architect of Ubuntu Linux Mark Shuttleworth late Tuesday told developers at the O'Reilly Open Source Convention that Linux should go "beyond the Mac" in terms of its software experience.

He wants the open source operating system to be at least as "crisp and clean" as Mac OS X.
