Yeah, I find it amusing that the very reasons that Ubuntu was considered
better than Debian was that it was closer to the edge than the trailing
edge. Not that its blazing its own trail in the bleeding edge zone, its
losing users by droves.
I am forced to use it for a few things at work and I have found that
everything past 10.04 makes me nervous.
