Basically what I wanted from Ubuntu was an operating system that was less demanding on my hardware resources and would allow me to make the most of the notebook.

Ars Technica have looked at some of the people behind Mozilla and their responsibilities. That's a tall order, and Mike Shaver knows it. At 27, he's a cofounder of the Mozilla experiment who has already given more than one-third of his life to the creation of the open-source browser and its associated tools.
