Re: [LIG] [ilugd] [LONG] [RANT] Ubuntu and Quality Control

Raj is not. I am - on a personal server that happens to host the ilugd list.
Choice of distro mostly due to the guy who did a remote hands install for my
box having only one current distro handy that had a usable version of the
tg3 gigabit ethernet driver.

And yes, aware of this, I tend to follow a "install a restricted set of
packages and patch only when absolutely necessary" policy that, e&oe this
little contretemps with a broken mailman, has, knock on wood, worked fine so
far.
