UPSTREAM seems to be one of the most-used words on-list here !??
Could someone please explain to the newbie, what this is ?

From Wikipedia:
"In software development, upstream refers to a direction toward the original authors or maintainers of software that is distributed as source code, and is a qualification of either a bug or a patch."

So in Ubuntu's case, Debian and the original software authors are both upstream of us. We are downstream.
