This makes me annoyed again at *buntu. The grub problem was reported
on 11 April and defined as critical and confirmed on the 14th.
Nevertheless ubuntu is released on 26 April without a fix. What is
with that? I mean 12.04 is a LTS and is therefore specifically made so
that previous LTS users (ie 10.04) can upgrade. And they leave it
broken?

Give me a rolling release please. Trouble is, from experience gentoo
is too fiddly/time consuming and LinHES makes me nervous as it is
essentially a one man band with a few helpers and has a quite small
user base.
