[Ales Cepek <ales.cepek@xxxxxxxxx>]

I do not know much about Ubuntu. I switched to Ubuntu from Debian few years
ago just to have the same system as our students (we used to have Linux in
our curricula). And as I experience some queer minor problems with Ubuntu
16.04, the more and more I am considering return home to Debian ;-) ... but
definitely not before current semester is closed.
