Just wanted to say "hello," as yet another "new-to-Ubuntu" user. I'm coming from Fedora Core 3 (home) and Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3 (work) (along with Windows 2003 and XP, and 6 XServes Running OS X).
I really like Ubuntu and the community so far. I'm amazed. This is only my second day, and my machine is up, running, tweaked the way I like it, and usable. Try that with almost any other distro! LOL! :-D It almost feels weird to have nothing to tinker with.
One question, though. On Fedora, we had at least 3-4 updates a week (often for security vulnerabilities, but not always). I notice that Ubuntu has far, far fewer updates. Part of this, of course, is that my installation is much simpler on Ubuntu, so there is less to update. But, for example, how about Firefox 1.0.3? Is there a different philosophy on frequency of updates with Ubuntu?
Thanks,
Mark Taber
