You may be missing some of the latest and greatest I appreciate where you're coming from but I think that it make more sense that they support the distros that their customers are actually using. I recognize the value of the LTS releases and Redhat for business use, but I'm doing a lot of things on my home media Linux servers and desktops that weren't possible in 2006 when these releases were made. Things are moving very quickly, particularly in the areas of media server technologies. Ben
