Thanks for the info.

Hi,
I have been generally lurking around Ubuntu development for several months
now (since about the Feisty release), and previously had done the same
around the Warty/Hoary time period. Though I have found Ubuntu to be
superior to other Linux distributions (save for maybe Debian, except that it

Hi,
I've been lurking/occasionally posting here for a while, and I would like to
bring up an issue that has been a real annoyance in my attempted use of
Ubuntu (as well as other Linux distributions, notably Debian) this summer.
In short, while I feel that Ubuntu has made real progress with regard

Hi,
(I know I may have brought up some of this before, but it was in the middle
of a Tribe freeze and I wasn't exactly clear regarding what I had to say.
Please excuse this...)
I'm currently a senior at the University of Michigan, majoring in (what
else) Computer Science, and I've been toying wit

Canonical offices?
Could somebody fill me in on this? I'd like to help/offer suggestions on
these issues directly with the teams involved. I've tried e-mailing a few
people (in particular, those responsible for laptop issues and multimedia)

I know my last thread was confusing to some developers with regards to my
desire for a greater availability of updates post-release. I thought I'd
clarify - I'm not primarily thinking of LTS releases, and I'm not suggesting
that a large number of supported components be version-updated between

I thought I'd bring up an issue that I see with Ubuntu - and most Linux
distributions as a whole.Anyway, the issue is that once a release is
declared "stable", there are no more updates beyond security updates
available - at least without resorting to ugly tarballs or random unofficial

For the past several years, I have dabbled in Linux/GNU/open source/free
software, starting in 1999 when I managed my first Linux install, which was
Debian 2.0 (now THAT was dependency hell - no apt back then). Since then, I
