You beat me to it. :)

I think this is fantastically important, and not widely enough covered
by the gutter press of the FOSS movement, who are much more interested
in sweetshopping than in proper advice. Just why would anyone want
their windows to wobble?

I know a couple of people who have recently installed BSD based
servers, and it seems to be a perfectly sensible thing to do. Even
ubuntu has a "long term support" version 6.06.

Most really important hardware support stuff gets backported sensibly.
