Re: I Returned To The Future Of Computing, Just FYI

What? You're insane! Ubuntu is arguably one of the, if not the most used
Linux distro. Every time I see a Linux demonstration these days it's
performed on Ubuntu.

FWIW, unlike Windows, you don't have to reformat to use a new release of an
existingly installed Linux distro (long as you are doing official releases
and not betas and alphas), so who cares if they release a new release every
6 months? Take an hour to upgrade, and that's that!

Ubuntu is sloppy compared to the most other more popular and repuable
distros such as Slackware and Gentoo, but what you said is a massive
exaggeration.
