Bouncing around the web at some point I saw someone mention Ubuntu versions during a Windows 7 versions discussion (sorry, don’t remember where).
The multiple versions thing kinda irritates me, well, it did anyway. But I try to keep an open mind. After reading all the news and the comments about the Windows 7 versions I’ve changed my mind. Reading the list below I think could give Ubuntu fans a reason to think about it too. Multiple versions can allow you to get what you want out of an OS and eliminate the unneeded or unwanted parts of the OS.
Anywho, my only point in this is that multiple versions of an OS isn’t necessarily a bad thing.
