Hello Tim, Dave and group,
Thank you for your input, I am greatly appreciative of it.
I do have a new computer, just built it myself last November. I have 3 hard
drives that is close to 1 terrabyte with a core 2 duo Intel processor. At my
age, even the fast things I do slow these days, so speed is not a high priority
to me. I love Ubuntu Linux, and all I require is a good stable system.
I apologize if I causes any friction between you two fellows. But in my
personal view we do need different and sometimes opposing opinions to allow us
to advance.
I thank you both for your input.
Trevor

Its cool. I am happy for people to disagree with me, but you need to
debate the _issue_ with a well reasoned argument.

I have been using Debian and ubuntu for many years and I have always
dist-upgraded - even from debian to ubuntu or the other way (which isn't
supported).
The only time I have had issues was when an early karmic alpha update
caused a kernel panic during heavy writing - corrupted cryptroot isn't
fun.

I have never used wubi but I know that it has its place for some users.
I also find that if a user is happy with the path they have chosen, let
them stay with it - sometimes pushing people out of their comfort zone
may cause them a world of pain. For many people moving to linux is
moving out of their comfort zone. I really don't want to be the guy
that they say was responsible for them fscking their machine :)
Cheers
Dave
