Re: Ayatana dev list - attitude

 

Dear Tomasz,

That would be great. But they are still required to have valid account on
launchpad or something official from ubuntu though, otherwise naughty user
will poll and poll again just to abuse ubuntu developement progress.

I'm not a programmer but I'm sure I'll glad to help with any kind of help I
can give to make sure Ubuntu be the easier and efficient operating system.

I do still believe there's something has to change regarding the up to date
software installation, just like in windows xp, though it's old from year
2001, but we still able to install most of the latest software on it. Unlike
on Ubuntu, to get latest software, we have to upgrade the to the current
update release, or using an unofficial ppa or backport repository, and
sometimes the latest one is not supported anymore on previous ubuntu
release. It's okay to upgrade ubuntu one or two machine, but to imagine
upgrading 60-75 machines, that's a very time consuming process, assumed one
pc takes 45 minutes to 1 hour long.

Just my two cents.


Kind regards,
