[Bug 269656] Re: AN IRRELEVANT LICENSE IS PRESENTED TO YOU FREE-OF-CHARGE ON STARTUP

[Laurens V.]

Sorry to kick this obsoleted discussion. Unfortunatly I have to admit
that I too, have quit using Ubuntu. To be specific: Xubuntu. I am not
the only one who quit using an Ubuntu distro. My wife who's a dedicated
KDE user quit Kubuntu for the reason Canonical chose KDE4 in stead of
offering the choice to use KDE3 or KDE4. Xubuntu (tried Jaunty on a
customer's pc) has a great look and feel, the way installing it, using
it is fantastic, but the feeling to agree with an EULA of Firefox, the
knowledge my machine would become unstable after a distro upgrade made
me decide me to go back to Debian, including my advices to others. I use
a stable Lenny release with the advantages of the Squeeze release,
thinking back on the time using Kubuntu / Xubuntu wich worked perfectly
on the most recent machines (also in professional ways) but doing a
distro upgrade had a 50% chance of succeeding while its origin Debian
succeeds on 95% of the installs. When Canonical would change its policy
in periods of distributing (*)Ubuntu letting the older installs being
compatible with their first oncoming releases I (and a lot of my
customers) would be some of the many to be returning to (*)Ubuntu.
Canonical is doing a great job, but the product has to be workable over
a longer time than it is today. I'd like to see the (*)Ubuntu distro's
being upgraded as freely as other distro's do, slowly and stable
changing to the next without loss of data and/or stability.
