There's always a trade-off between being able to run the latest versions of programs with cool new features, as opposed to reliability and stability. Some lean toward one way and others toward the other. And then there's me - I want both. I've tried various distros and I always keep coming back to Ubuntu.

Why is >that so difficult? Patents and corporate secrecy. If a manufacturer open sources their hardware then everyone will know how they made the product. That entices patent trolls. Better to keep everything secret. _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
