Mark Shuttleworth Proposes Delaying next Ubuntu 382

Beuno writes "Mark Shuttleworth has proposed on the ubuntu-art mailing list to postpone the 'Dapper Drake' release by 6 weeks. He lays out the reasons pretty clearly: the delay should make the release a more user-friendly distro. He has also called up a community meeting in April 14th on IRC for community input. Is it really worth delaying the release for more then a month just to polish it out a little bit?" Commentary on this also available from the Tectonic site.

I first tried installing GNU/Linux two years ago. I downloaded Debian, burned a CD, and then, knowing DOS and Windows commands, fiddled blindly with a command prompt. Then I tried Mandrake. And a few other random names I found by searching on linux.org. But none of them worked. Why? One word: X.
Of course, once I knew where to look, I found a compatible config file and copied it in, but not really even knowing where to look, and having to use lynx (Which I use all the time now, but it was confusing then) to find things... just not really the way I wanted to spend my time.
