Debian and Ubuntu
,----[ Quote ]
| I really hope that this sheds some light on the dependency that Ubuntu has on
| Debian. And really, I would *love* to see some activism on the Ubuntu
| community’s side to give more back to the Debian project. The farther Debian
| goes, the better Ubuntu gets - they only stand to benefit.

| SUSE Linux and I have been together for quite a while and when

6 Reasons Everyone Should Try Ubuntu
,----[ Quote ]
| In response to some of the comments I received on a previous article, and to
| show that while I don’t use Ubuntu, I do support it, here are six reasons
| everyone should at least try Ubuntu.
|
| 1. Descendant of Debian
|
| Though not my favorite distro, there’s no denying the fact that Debian is one
| of the greats. The project was started in 1993, and has enjoyed continued
| success since then. This longevity stands as a testament to the quality of
| work that goes into the distro which spills over into each release of Ubuntu.

75 minutes to close a bug

| Today at 11:04am (GMT, or Greenwich Time), Debian developer Erich Schubert
| reported about a bug in Serendipity. According to his blog, it took him 10
| minutes to close it, and he reported it to the guys over at Serendipity.

| And at 12:09pm (GMT), another Debian developer named Thijs Kinkhorst had
| uploaded a corrected version from upstream to Debian unstable, and he already
| found out that Sarge and Etch were not affected.
