[lug] Rethinking Ubuntu

[Daniel Webb]

Ok, I didn't understand the distinction between "real" Ubuntu packages and
"universe" Ubuntu packages until now.  It seems from this:

http://packages.ubuntu.com/dapper/net/

that openvpn is not part of the regular archive.  Are you F'ing serious?  Is
there anyone on this list who DOESN'T use openvpn with their desktops?

So in other words, if I go with Ubuntu, I have 3 years of security updates,
except for critical packages such as OpenVPN.  Am I crazy in thinking that
lack of OpenVPN is a deal-breaker for a desktop?  I consider that top-10
important, up there with rsync, ssh, Firefox, and OpenOffice.
