That's complete exaggeration. Alternative system already exist for years (even for decades for some of them) and have been in use, only --- that's true --- not by the mainstream distributions. I've been using Dan Bernstein's daemontools <http://cr.yp.to/daemontools.html> or Gerrit Pape's runit <http://smarden.org/runit/> for a long time.

Where is that? ;-) I'd like to help as I have the knowledge to repair a broken system. And in fact I had been using dapper-proposed a few months ago. But I disabled it again, because it rendered the OpenOffice.org installation unusable because of inter package problems and I didn't see a real benefit in using it. Now I re-enabled it. Let's see where this will now lead to. ... and here we go: #v+ Preparing to replace openoffice.org-impress 2.0.2-2ubuntu12.1 (using .../openoffice.org-impress_2.0.3-6dapper1_i386.deb) ...

Whom to contact about that? In general, where can I read about how to help the Ubuntu project w.r.t. testing proposed updates and also especially issues related to using it on laptops? (I have a ThinkPad T42.) Regards, Thomas
