I do care on a certain level. I care enough to have migrated a number of
servers for a small web hosting operation from gentoo and centos (both of
which have root accounts with passwords, as did our BSD systems) to 8.04 and
have both my work and home desktops on 9.04, having used Ubuntu since 6.06. I
just don't necessarily agree to every nuance in every situation. I am not even
up on the "Ubuntu way", and if I have to filter my *opinions* through the
"Ubuntu way" ... well, I'd rather have my own opinions than Canonical's. 

Bye.
