I use 6.06 LTS on production systems, and As a free software evangelist, I try to be very careful. If the convert can't survive without the support of a geek, he's potentially lost. I create realistic expectations in potential converts. I never promote dual boot, wine or other things that potentially require more profound technical knowledge than you can expect from an end user. I show good practices. I seduce potential converts to taste a little bit of freedom with minimal investment. Installing Ubuntu on a somewhat aging big brand computer is really a good example. It doesn't cost a lot, if anything, and on the technical side, with mostly well supported Intel hardware, an almost 100% success rate. Having said that, shipping a release with a bug as critical as https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg-server/+bug/89853 known for over a month before release is not good practice. I will definitely make this clear to my contacts at Canonical.
