It would probably be a milestone to gather a user base large enough to be "officially supported" :D<br><br><div><span class="gmail_quote">On 1/11/07, <b class="gmail_sendername">Cody Somerville</b> <<a href="mailto:cody.somerville@gmail.com">

<br><br>The dev quoted by Cody, heno (Henrik Nilssen Omma) was right:<br>xubuntu is supported by sharing the same archive as the 3 main variants,<br> by having its developers in MOTU and/or ubuntu-core-dev, by providing
<br>
ISO build facilities and not least by 'unofficial' good will from many<br>canonical devs who take xubuntu issues in consideration when working on<br>u/k/edubuntu specific stuff.<br><br>What it does not mean is financial backing from Canonical apart from
<br>bandwidth and the implicit developer time their employees spend on<br>Xubuntu specific stuff. So no 24/7 commercial support for customers or<br>pressed CDs.<br><br>And this makes a lot of sense from their POV as long as xubuntu has a
<br>relatively small community (distrowatch is a misleading metric) and they<br>want to keep focused.<br><br>So having daily images by no means makes xubuntu supported. For instance<br>those dailies could be broken AFAIK since there are no people testing
<br>them regularly.That would be risky to support.<br><br>The best way you can make xubuntu better is by contributing your time<br>and not wait for canonical or someone else to bear all the costs.<br><br>I hope this clears it up.
