LM82 is not a development distro, it's a production release; so this combined with the fact that you arent doing anything with 8.2 at the moment is telling me that you're "facts" so far are unsubstantiated. > <snip> > >This all seperate examples from the last time I checked.

At any rate, 8.2 does have quite a few bugs Once again, to what specifically are you referring? What bugs? From where? You haven't even loaded the distro, yet you make yourself sound like the penultimate bug expert regarding 8.2. I've already asked you to substantiate your claims, and the best you can do is refer me to the development list. You can't do any better than that? I hope you're more capable at *other* things than you are at substantiating your own claims.
