<pre wrap="">I'm writing in response to some recent emails on this list that may have
had a discouraging effect on the developers and other community members.
While Some constructive criticism is needed, I would like to remind
people that the developers are essentially volunteers who put a LOT of
hard work into making a really great Linux distribution.
So, the essence of what I'd like to say is that the Ubuntu devs (and
those who contribute in any to the Ubuntu distro) are awesome and
deserve a lot of respect. You've done wonders for making this (IMHO)
the best distribution out there.
Thanks for your work. I look forward with great anticipation to
installing Gusty on my box.

As anonymous lurker, I thank you too, in name of a lot of anonymous
lurkers probably. It's an amazing effort to put together such a nice
distro. I've come from RedHat, over Suse, over Gentoo to Ubuntu and
this is the place I feel most at home. I've often felt I should
contribute more, but by the time I can really test my patch for a
particular itch, the distro has already taken care of it or I'm not
routined and it takes me too long. Sometimes it's hard to find instant
gratification, but none of your contributions can be underestimated.
Sighh... You devs...<br>
