Agreed.  Ubuntu lost my vote long ago too for too many reasons to list here.  The 5 free licenses is likely just an intro to a bigger plan to turn into a pay only model.  No thanks.  I am sure many of us run more than 5 instances at home.   Specially those who like to tinker.

Ubuntu blows. All my boxes run Debian.

Hi

this message is part of my apt upgrade response:

Get more security updates through Ubuntu Pro with 'esm-apps' enabled:
  imagemagick libopenexr25 libmagickcore-6.q16-6-extra libmagickwand-6.q16-6
  imagemagick-6.q16 libeditorconfig0 libmagickcore-6.q16-6
  imagemagick-6-common
Learn more about Ubuntu Pro at https://ubuntu.com/pro

The offer is to get a membership in Ubuntu Pro, which allows updates to 5 computers for "free", but I give away more info about myself.

Looks like its Debian Time. (Any time is Debian Time.)

What are your takes on this?

Thanks,
Rob
