I think you'll find a lot of people disagreeing with that. ;-) Ubuntu is built on Debian - with much of the same philosophy - which is often referred to as the 'universal operating system', and is deployed on the tiniest of embedded devices to the largest of clusters, grids and carrier grade (beyond 'enterprise') systems. The various Ubuntu distributions basically hone the focus, but sacrifice relatively little of the flexibility. - Jeff -- linux.conf.au 2007: Sydney, Australia http://lca2007.linux.org.au/ "Free software never simply picks up its marbles and goes home." - Jonathan Corbet, LWN -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
