+We live in a fast world, that’s for sure.  When I first heard about Ubuntu Linux and their goals,
+I was happy: they gave a Debian to everyone, but in different clothes.  It had fresh software in
+it, and even they gave support of a kind.  It was easy to install and use, even if one had no
+Linux experience before.  So people liked it.  I’ve even installed it on some of my servers
+because of the new package versions that came more often.  Thus I got an up to date system.
+However, it had a price.  After a while, security updates came more and more often, and when I had
+a new critical update every two or three days, I’ve decided to move back to Debian.  Fortunately I
+did this at the time of a new release, so I didn’t really loose any features.
+
+After a few years passed, even Debian is heading this very same way.  But as I see, the cause is
+not the same.  It seems that upstream software is hitting these bugs, and even the Debian guys
+don’t have the time to check for them.  At the time of a GNOME version bump (yes, GNOME 3 is a
+really big one for the UN\*X-like OSes), when hundreds of packages need to be checked, security
+bugs show off more often.  On the other hand however, Debian is releasing a new security update
+every day (I had one on each of the last three days).  This, of course, is good from one point of
+view as we get a system that is more secure, but most administrators don’t have maintenance
+windows this often.  I can think of some alternatives like Fedora, but do I really have to change?
+Dear fellow developers, please code more carefully instead!
