Some Ubuntu community members were downright shocked, and many were ultimately dissatisfied with the final product. What exactly happened? Short answer: the Art Team was less disturbed than some other community members were. Linux.com has the scoop." Slashdot and Linux.com are both part of OSTG.

Nothing sounds better to me than -current and -stable.
What about -useful? It boggles the mind that OpenBSD doesn't support IrDA [wikipedia.org] or IPX [wikipedia.org]!
How can you live with an OS that lacks these fundamental and necessary technologies in today's world? I mean, what about reading IR codes from VCR remotes? What if you want to play StarCraft with a person that is at an early patch level? These are important questions that need to be addressed!

And here I was looking forward to seeing something that some overly-zealous conservative twit thought was immoral or something.
Curse you, write-up writer, curse cauliflower, and curse the Olson twins.
