Jack, I too feel that regression bugs are a drag... don't know if other distros are any better, maybe Debian... but then again you'll have to live with pretty obsolete software from time to time if you use it.
Anyhow, if Ubuntu has a bigger problem with regressions than other distros, my guess is that it is due to its tight release schedule. Actually, I wouldn't mind having a 'release when ready' practise for Ubuntu too (just like with Debian), but still with a bit more frequent releases. Then again I too am a KDE user, so for me following GNOME release cycles doesn't make any sense... But as a KDE user I can get a fresh version of KDE through kubuntu.org's repositories, if I feel that I need em. In the same way Ubuntu could actually offer fresh GNOME versions without having to release a whole new version of the distro... For the time being I've solved my scanner problem (in Edgy and Feisty) by having OpenSUSE on my second machine... I'm not saying OpenSUSE has less bugs, but at least it doesn't have the scanner one... :) (I think Debian doesn't have it either.) cheers, Simon PS.
