"the distro is dead" You can certainly be forgiven for thinking so. It seemed the same to me.
But we were wrong! http://distrowatch.com/?newsid=07871FWIW I feel pretty much the same vague sense of dis-ease with the idea of basing on a Canonical product. However, I appreciate that Ruben is plenty smart enough to have considered the argument, and made his decisions regardless. If it matters intensely, jump the gnewsense train. Or fork! That's the beauty of the F/LOSS. Good hunting.
