And here, my friends, is the ENTIRE problem. We work very hard to come out with new versions, but the number of people who take the time to TEST the new versions as they're coming out, and help us to FIX the bugs while things are still in development is small to non-existant. They simply show up when it's released, upgrade their systems, and then wonder why there's bugs. We don't have a crisis of LTSP faith. We don't have a crisis of Ubuntu faith. We have a crisis of users forgetting that Free Software's supposed to be a community, and that if you want this great free stuff, the price is for you to GET INVOLVED, and help the unpaid, volunteer developers to TEST the software in your environments, and work through things WHILE THEY'RE IN DEVELOPMENT, as opposed to waiting for release date, then testing it then. We're not Microsoft, with a huge QA department. We're a rag-tag group of people who all have other full time jobs who donate some of our precious time to giving you the sweat of our brow FOR FREE. YOU PEOPLE, all of you, need to test. And it's not just Intrepid/hardy, since Fedora, Debian, SuSE, et al, all use the same code base. Test in your preferred distro and provide feedback to us. I, ogra, vagrant, gadi, nubae, et al have already stepped up to the plate: we're using OUR time to write you the software. All of you need to help us test. It's the only way things will get better.
