New Enterprise-Level Ubuntu Due This Week

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the nubuntu dept.

daria42 writes "According to Ubuntu's official release schedule, the next version of its Linux distribution, code-named "Dapper Drake" is due to be released this week, June 1 to be precise. This landmark release will be supported for 5 years (previous versions were only supported for 18 months) and is being touted as ready for enterprise use." From the article: "Dapper Drake will be supported for three years for the desktop version and five years for servers, compared to 18 months for the current 5.10 'Breezy Badger' version. The code release will come after the development process was extended by six weeks in order to improve the reliability of the software."

    No disrespect, as Debian is a damned solid distro. But lets be real about the situation. 14 cds? or one? Or how about, when i actually want help on an issue i'm greated by either A) a community or B) paid support, that isn't filled with elitist pricks who think their shit doesn't stink? Debian guys, might know they're crap, but they're air of snottiness will drive people away from linux all together. I thank them for their efforts, but the Debian community need to drop the attitude. Oh Boo hoo... a couple of the Debian developers went to work on Ubuntu. Ya know?
