I had never used ubuntu as server  because of  universe
all the software we use we need to be aware about the updates and risks of
using software with known bugs  unfixed

With universe we ( users )  need to be sure that the software we use is
updated and there are some choices :

1 report the bug
2 report and  try to fix the bug with the MOTU people
3 roll your own .deb  or compile from tarball

but like me that I need some packages and I know there are others that
need those packages updated too  I guess the best choice  is  2


I hope  this can lead us the people who use ubuntu as server and need
universe packages updated to come to MOTU  and  help with updating
packages at least  the packages we need.
