I'd like to say a great thankyou for all the help that I got from this list, either direcly or by simply reading the list mail. Ubuntu is a great community and it deserves to be supported by great people -people like you. I will test Ubuntu from time to time and I am looking forward to be back when circumstances allow me to do so.

Improving a distribution does not end with fixing bugs, but having great ideas, and along with those great ideas comes great applications, and most of all great interfaces! I can't elaborate how important GUI is, but I know people love it. One thing I notice in Ubuntu, from time to time is it's community is loosing it's hype, and enthusiasm. Each release is becoming a routine, with same interfaces, waiting that it's new features will come from upstream. I guess it's one of the things I admire from Fedora and OpenSuSE, is that they don't have the advantages of a debian-based system which we take for granted, but they keep innovating, and providing new features. But I believe in Ubuntu, It's full of potential, full of possibilities, if only they look harder to provide those possibilities. And Alas! I'm still on Ubuntu!
