Well here is the problem. There are many of us that want to support Ubuntu, we want to sell it into corporations and the like. It needs to have a professional twist to it, having a release candidate and with the spelling wrong is not good on a high profile application like GIMP. Having a bug in Network Manager with won't fix so when you set a static IP address your VPN goes away, can you imagine the reaction from your customer, I can, I've been there, not good, make sure upgrades absolutely don't hoop the system. Nautilus ssh sessions seem to hang to:-) Does Ubuntu want to expand? If so then it must be professional or you won't make it. I love Ubuntu but the truth is if you want to get into businesses you will have to address these kinds of issues. Try documentation, go take a look at the Microsoft stuff and then try duplication the documentation so anyone can follow it not just a Linux guy. I'm not grateful, maybe just honest, you guys have done a bang up job on Gutsy, well done, love the new printing stuff, makes a huge difference to my customers.
