I understand that consequences are many, but in the end, the user sees the distribution as a whole... that's one of the consequences of the Ubuntu (or Linux-based systems in the general sense) distribution model (as opposed to the 'operating system x applications' model used by Microsoft). For me the biggest benefit is that by taking this path *now*, Ubuntu will clearly sign what kind of commitment it is going to have for the LTS edition. That's absolutely necessary for the long term IMHO. -- Carlos Ribeiro Consultoria em Projetos blog: <a href="http://rascunhosrotos.blogspot.com">http://rascunhosrotos.blogspot.com</a> blog: <a href="http://pythonnotes.blogspot.com">http://pythonnotes.blogspot.com </a> mail: <a href="mailto:carribeiro@gmail.com">carribeiro@gmail.com</a> mail: <a href="mailto:carribeiro@yahoo.com">carribeiro@yahoo.com</a>
