Hello, guys.  Now at a proper keyboard.  I have a terrible habit of 
using too many acronyms and references that I assume would be 
understood.  When you lose the LUG you know your gone too far.  :) 

I didn't mean to escalate this.  I understand Adam was kidding.  So am I.

I was referring to the Ubuntu LoCo groups for the fanboy reference from 
Adam.  I probably fall in that group (of fanboy).  It is the distro 
d'jour for me.  Well, I like many of its derivatives.  I currently have 
machines with #!, Mint, and 64-bit Ubuntu.

There are warts, but I can deal with them.  Most of my issues I think 
are more app issues than what I would attribute to distro breakage.  
gPodder, as much as I love it is becoming my new app to struggle with.

There are a whole lotta kernel upgrades in the ubuntu env.  Doesn't 
bother me too much.  I mainly use laptops, so they are always within a 
few hours from a reboot.  Don't run any servers at home right now.
