        <description><![CDATA[I've never been a fan of Ubuntu, though I bow to the amount they have done to popularise Linux. More than any other distro and probably even more than the rest put together.However, the system in my view is much too buggy and part of the problem I believe, is the very issue that Jack and on another occasions, Jason Hiner have championed; namely, six monthly releases.It is my belief, the urge to meet target dates are resulting in low quality software that is rushed out far too soon.Please don't misunderstand me, I have a huge amount of respect for what Ubuntu have achieved, but they are not doing themselves or their users any favours, just cranking out software that is just about good enough. That's the sort of thinking I associate Microsoft with, and the very reason MS are now history as far as I'm concerned.I'll stick with Debian; yes, boring, solid and dependable. Just what I need to complete the task in hand.]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[I feel in love with Ubuntu back around 6.10 and have been using it as my primary personal OS eve since. I too have been noticing the huge feature creep in the subsequent releases has if anything been intensifying since 9.10 . I'm afraid if Unity doesnt rock me out of the box ill be switching over to either Mint or one of the other xUbuntu flavors.]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[New Note 11I've been using Ubuntu for several years and five or six iterations. It's beginning to feel as if Canonical are adding features instead of focusing on reliability. A main reason I went to Ubuntu was to escape the bugs, uncertainties, and crashes in Windows; now I'm seeing something similar surfacing in Ubuntu. I would be satisfied if the next release simply focused on killing the bug list. In my case, the &quot;loss of keyboard access&quot; bug is high on the list; I have to reboot Ubuntu at least twice a day to regain the ability to key in text.I agree about Unity; it isn't ready for prime time.Another item is allowing software to install from something other than deb packages; installing something that's not pre-packaged as deb is a pain in the arse at present, and impossible for non-technical users.And Ubuntu is still behind the curve on drivers. I have a couple of printers, an exceptionally good scanner, and other hardware I *MUST* use with Windows because they just aren't supported in Ubuntu. This keeps my system GRUB-y when I would rather dispense with Windows completely.The author is also right about Ubuntu One. I've been in the computer biz for 30 years and can't make it work satisfactorily; if Ubuntu expects this to be a revenue generator it should be flawless and easy, not hit or miss, as it is now. And the pricing of storage is still irrationally high; check the Google models.As for the rest of the list I'm a user interface agnostic, more interested in reliability and usability than effects, I'll settle for Gnome 3.0 and love it.But, Canonical had better watch out -- it is moving Windows-ward as regards stability and feature-itis. Time to halt the drift.]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Jack, I wish Canonical starts selling ARM based inexpensive machines that will help 'regular' folks escape the drudgery (effort) and the risk of installing, tinkering &amp; tweaking with a device.Canonical can do so in its 'Canonical store' &amp; if they can pack even 1/2 the value of their OS in this device, it should be a best seller.]]></description>
