Stability issues and updates are the reasons that I switched _to_ Ubuntu! Before that it was the early Fedoras. I still think that my favourite two Linux OSes were Fedora Core 3 and Ubuntu Feisty. Maybe I will give Squeeze a round before my next install. I've last tested only Lenny. -- Dotan Cohen http://bido.com http://what-is-what.com -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
