> Vikas There's nothing really wrong with that distribution cycle. In fact, time based release cycle is a good balance between features and quality. If you're not able to keep pace with the releases, know that they are supported for 18 months. And the LTS (like Dapper Drake) are supported for 18 months. So there's no good reason to upgrade every six months. In fact, I alternately upgrade my system (every 12 months). I skipped Edgy, and I'll skip Gutsy too. - Kazim Zaidi Blog: http://tuxplayground.blogspot.com/ _______________________________________________ ilugd mailinglist -- [email protected] http://frodo.hserus.net/mailman/listinfo/ilugd Next Event: http://freed.in - September 28-29, 2007 Archives at: http://news.gmane.org/gmane.user-groups.linux.delhi http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/
