(Get the code!)
I am still on Gutsy (with a Hardy kernel for hibernation issues). Since I have an 'if it works don't fix it' mentality, I don't upgrade until the newest release becomes stable (though I do have Hardy and Intrepid installed in Virtual Box).
I am a dialup user with a USR5610B modem. If is very shortsighted to assume that everyone has access to or can afford DSL or cable or even wants a high speed connection. I connect either via pon/poff or GNOME PPP. Since I have now become aware of this issue when upgrade time does come, it will be to Hardy for the duration of the LTS support.
Please don't forget about us dialup users!!! I would not be happy to have to search for another distro after so many years with Ubuntu.
