ubuntu quip

[Collins Richey]

My favorite quip of the season. The small cadre of Ubuntu haters on
the list will love it. Read the full thing at

Ubuntu is a special case for two reasons: the Canonical hype machine
never sleeps, and and Ubuntu pulls packages from as far upstream as
Debian Experimental. Which, to my way of thinking, is just begging for
a record number of problems, user complaints, and bug reports. It's on
a six-month release cycle, which compounds the pressure. So if you
believe the hype, you expect that they can do all this, and create
stable, functional, virtually trouble-free bleeding edge releases.
And, Ubuntu is one big happy family and everyone is welcome and all
are welcome to contribute, and it's all peas and luv.
I'm not saying I believe all this, though I still leave a cigar and
brandy out for Santa Claus on Christmas Eve. But certainly the
tireless hype machine raises these expectations.
