That explains a great deal - from the former ShipIt stuff to the present lack of a Xubu Alpha iso. I always stick with the LTS releases because I have only one computer and it's "mission-critical!" I wish I had the time and resources and a spare computer to help test the new versions and contribute to the project in more substantial ways than just the fanboy stuff I write in my blog and on the forums. But now, as to the forums, I've read that the Kubuntu Forums are sponsored and managed by a single individual and not underwritten by Canonical. With all the free forum hosting services around (even SalixOS uses one for it's official forums!), setting up a Xubu forums site seems like a fun way I might be able to contribute, even though I'm just a non-technical Xubu user and fanboy. Is that a good idea do you think? Thanks again for that very helpful response, Robin Robin's Rants and Raves: <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://robinsrantsandraves.wordpress.com">http://robinsrantsandraves.wordpress.com</a> </body> </html>
