“It seems I haven’t printed from the netbook, only the
desktop running SalixOS, since I upgraded from Ubuntu 8.04 LTS
(Hardy Heron) to 9.10 (Karmic Koala). It also seems that a bug
classified as “high priority” by the Ubuntu people has had no
movement whatsoever in nearly two months. I guess I’ve run into the
same attitude at Canonical that has so annoyed me before: we’ll get
it in the next release. Not fixing the current, supported release
seems to be just fine with Canonical. For me, with Ubuntu, this was
strike three. They’re out of here. Actually, this was about strike
12 but since Ubuntu is so darned popular I keep giving them
chances. Silly me.“We FOSS supporters get all on our high horses about proprietary
software while we keep offering up “Linux for humans” that, in
reality, is an oft broken mess, at least in the case of Ubuntu. I
am back to believing Andrew Wyatt was right when he called the
distro “garbage salad.” This is a perfect example of what he was
describing. No wonder CrunchBang Linux is moving to a Debian as a
base instead of Ubuntu. Linux Mint may be moving in the same
direction.”
