I"m not spreading FUD, I'm speaking from my experience. When I tried
to introduce linux via ubuntu, it was a disaster.

However, given the amount of harsh/childish comments (not you Tom)
I'll keep my experiences to myself.

So much for freedom in FOSS.

I'll end with the fact that some of you should be very ashamed of yourselves.

It doesn't need to be very stable to do that because almost anything is
likely
to be more robust than Window (except DVL of course).  Anyone really excited
about stability can move somewhere closer to BSD although i have not had
problems with stability in Ubuntu.

Hey kid, stop spreading FUD. I've used Ubuntu and Debian concurrently
for the last 5 yrs and while there are a few differences, they are both
equally stable. Neither is inferior to the other. My problems with
Ubuntu are philosophical, not technical.
