That is good news indeed! I know a lot of people were miffed when you

announced you were switching to using buntu as the base for the new

version and rightfully so- especially since 10.04 as the distro seems

to be spiralling to its demise with stupid decisions.
Ubuntu does a few things that (greatly) improve its user-friendliness

for noobs hence its what I used to recommend to beginners but I can't

recommend something that doesn't work properly so now I'll be

recommending Debian Mint to newbs or the new 64studio when that gets

released for people who want to do audio- when it finally arrives

(version 6.6?;)
