Take this two cents for what it's worth - I get these emails and hope eventually to test for Xubuntu, so my input should be taken with several grains of salt, but here goes anyway : you guys have been kicking A$$ on the past three releases - it's not broke, don't fix it, leave Pasi in charge. You guys are doing a PHENOMENAL job. Raring is outstanding. Fast as hell, super stable, haven't had a single notable issue on three Dells yet. Other than installing Faenza icons, Synapse and Xpad, not much to add either. Superb. You guys are on point. Regards. Rich Dennis - amerigena
