So who is doing to be the first to start using Lucid Lynx?

dave r, it makes perfect sense imo. Regardless of which release is current you have at minimum 1 year support & access to the recent versions of software. If you want longer support then the LTS gives you 3/5 years of support on a platform which is fairly version stable. No where does it say you must upgrade to the latest version as soon as it's released.
So you can have your every couple of years platform & keep with that but it allows people who want to keep more up-to-date to do so.
If you want stable you keep with the version you have, if you want the latest & greatest you put up with niggles. You can't have it both ways.dave r said:I started with Ubuntu 8.10 about eighteen months ago. I found that the two times I upgraded, 9.04 and 9.10, I went from a stable working system to a system that had problems on it, and I had to waste a lot of hours problem solving to get it to work as well as the system I upgraded from. If they put more time between releases it would give the people developing the release more time to debug it and give the people using it something that works better.

As for problems 8.04 -> 8.10 -> 9.04 -> 9.10ß -> 10.04ß have all worked fine for me.
