[Server-devel] Ubuntu XS

[David Van Assche]

You can count me in on that... I've been pushing for debian or ubuntu
to be the XS  platform for a while, and I know Martin Langhoff sort of
feels the same way... but since so much work has already been done on
Fedora, we should see how feasable it is to make 2 concurrent XS
rollouts... but yeah it would be great, although in the end, the
underlying mechanisms are so similar it might not be worth the
effort...

Kind Regards,
David
