Also, I worry about these 'clients' of yours, if you cannot manage
triaging your own systems, what are you doing administrating and
supporting others who also don't know how? I would also suggest
looking at how much you're losing out of pocket to use/abuse ubuntu.
Here is a cool link for those who demand a certain level of quality in
their F/OSS operating system http://www.ubuntu.com/support/services

If you can't support yourself, how do you expect to support others? I
just worry about the experience you're providing these 'clients' what
with pushing them to another distro because you had a fit. What if
something upstream in debian goes all wonky? Redhat? Suse? Windows?
I'd rather be up front with these clients and let them know what's
happening, that there are bugs, yes they are new bugs being dealt with
and you will be personally involved in the traiging of these bugs.
Maybe even suggest they don't upgrade yet, wait for the 10.04.1
release.

I might suggest a switch to these 'clients' for more support in their
dial-up needs, that might be a valid reason. I'd also make sure that
the other distro/OS has this support so you can give your clients some
idea that you know what you're doing.
