[nos-bbs] Ubuntu 7.X and JNOS 2.0 - maybe not ...

[Maiko Langelaar (ve4klm)]

Good morning,

I get the impression that Ubuntu 7.X has some issues. I see alot
of posts indicating applications not working properly that should
be working, and that do work on other distributions.

I've had several individuals who's opinion I value fairly well, give
me a not so great assessment of Ubuntu 7.X as a platform to run JNOS
and even FBB on. Here is one such assessment from one individual :

   There are an excessive amount of bugs with this version of (K)Ubuntu.

   Unfortunately, the Ubuntu team doesn't feel that these issues are bugs.

   What you should do is inform those on nos-bbs is that jnos is not
   compatable with Ubuntu 7.10 (Gutsy) and users who upgraded should
   downgrade if they intend on using jnos.

   You should see the problems with FBB and Ubuntu 7.10.

I'm not bashing Ubuntu, but considering the above points, if any of you
are running JNOS 2.0 on the later Ubuntu distributions, then the amount
of support I can give you will be limited, since I have no control over
system libraries crashing left right and center.
