[ubuntu-za] Ubuntu Stability Issues Re: Ubuntu Unity Stability Issues

[Nico Michael]

Hi Hilton
I think I did not put a descriptive title

The problem is not the Unity Shell , Its the new version of Linux from 
Ubuntu that keeps breaking things after updates

With Microsoft windows you can disable updates
If I could do that with my  Ubuntu it would have saved me a lot of sweat


I don't need all the bug fixes I just need a Stable version of Linux
Maybe Ubuntu should ship a complete new version to download where the 
machine will not do Internet updates and allow for that option

As stable releases I would even use an older version for Stability

As I said my file server and wifes machine are running on Ubuntu 3 or 
more years old with no more support and those machines work and work

regards
Nick
