Karl, the point that various people have (including a Ubuntu
developer) is that "stable" has a certain meaning in the development
cycle of Linux distributions and it does not mean that your particular
install is stable but that that particular version of the distribution
is out of its alpha and beta phases and has been released for general,
non-testing use (which is April 29th for Lucid).

So, to conform to proper usage, please say that your install of Lucid
does not crash, does not hang, is running without problems, etc and
please avoid "stable" so as not to confuse anyone.
