| schestowitz | Canonical and Ubuntu are losing importance these days. Debian and Mint are gaining and the latter is even more "pragmatic" than Ubuntu. | Jan 04 10:24 |

| schestowitz | Bansheegate did not help, either. Jono does not even want to talk about these issues. IMHO, Ubuntu is jumping the shark. Google/Android has a bit to do with it. | Jan 04 10:41 |

| schestowitz | I LIKE windows XP (run in classic mode) and it's only my determination to broaden my horizons and that I no longer game that made me start using linux. In my area of work there is only one office suite that is acceptable, all others delivering inconsistent documents to the professional world, rendering themselves of no use.
