"Hadron" may have been right about Ubuntu being too aggressive with releasing new versions before they are properly vetted. Fortunately, unlike Windows users, GNU/Linux users can choose from multiple vendors, so are far more likely to find a find a product that is more to their "taste". -- "98% of the market seems to like it." - "True Linux advocate" Hadron Quark

"98% of the market seems to like it." - "True Linux advocate" Hadron Quark The above is perhaps my favorite Quack quote. It nicely encapsulates his ****ty, illogical defense of the monopolists in Redmond. -- "Apparently it's called choice : I call it a diluted mess designed to confuse and put real people off. A bit like the crazy distro dance." - "True Linux advocate" Hadron Quark

'news like this' meaning that one particular Linux distribution has an issue with their most recent release? I guess MS never had a problem with an initial release of any windows version.
