As one of the Canonical Ubuntu Server Developers working on our Ubuntu Enterprise Cloud, I'll respond to this ... We absolutely have a focus on quality for the "classic servers", as you call them. Basic Ubuntu Servers are our foundation, truly, for all of our Cloud Computing efforts, both as a Virtualization Guest, and a Virtualization Hypervisor. Your email is well constructed, and having a targeted bug list is an excellent start. My guidance to you would be: * Help get each of those bugs into a triaged state, and with an appropriate priority set, and filed against the correct package. * Re-test them with the latest development code, the 10.04 release that's under development. * Provide all the information you possibly can to help a developer work to solve those problem. * Nominate them for release, probably targeting Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid at this point. * If you have hacks, work arounds, fixes, or patches, please, by all means, attach them to the bugs, as again, this will help a developer get an appropriate fix into Ubuntu sooner than later. * And have just a bit of patience and understanding that we have 100s (or 1000s) of bugs, and merely a 5-person Ubuntu Server Team in Canonical (plus a few dozen more Ubuntu and Debian community members that help out). :-Dustin -- ubuntu-server mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server More info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ServerTeam
