Sorry for jumping into the thread, but I couldn't help noting that you seem confused about the distro suggestion. I think Ubuntu was the example, and there's nothing random at all about their release process. There are fixed timelines and life cycles in Ubuntu - having less branches does not in any way stop them from having a fixed release process and schedule. Regards Peter
