Ubuntu is meant to be competitive with Windows and does a great job of bringing people into linux-land. A significant percentage learn our values and a fair percentage find they can contribute to the wider linux community.
It doesn't need to be very stable to do that because almost anything is likely to be more robust than Window (except DVL of course). Anyone really excited about stability can move somewhere closer to BSD although i have not had problems with stability in Ubuntu.

I've used Ubuntu and Debian concurrently for the last 5 yrs and while there are a few differences, they are both equally stable. Neither is inferior to the other. My problems with Ubuntu are philosophical, not technical. -- Bob Holtzman Key ID: 8D549279 "If you think you're getting free lunch, check the price of the beer" -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to users+h...@libreoffice.org List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/www/users/ *** All posts to this list are publicly archived for eternity *** -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to users+h...@libreoffice.org List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/www/users/ *** All posts to this list are publicly archived for eternity ***
