We didn't really rush this distribution though. Most of the bugs are ones
we never would have found (the ghostscript problem stands out as an
exception to this though) and hadn't been found in our 6 week beta
program. Linux is a big beast and we include a lot of software none of
us use and can't test adequately. We tried to remedy this with a beta
program (Which did catch a lot of bugs) but apparently that wasn't 
adequate. I'd guess our next beta will be a bit bigger then the previous
one (though I don't know how we'll manage that -- suggestions by private
email are welcome).
