While I appreciate the desire to run the latest and greatest versions of an operating system, maybe this isn't a practical goal.  What I'd like to see from Instantiations is a guaranteed commitment to support the current LTS release of Ubuntu (along with Red Hat and SuSE), with newer releases supported on a best-effort basis.  There are many things I'd rather see Instantiations expending resources on than chasing the latest releases of Fedora and Ubuntu.  Personally, if I'm going to deploy a server into production, I'll be using the most stable version of the operating system that I can get.

Tom

Thomas,

yes this is quite ok for server system (bad:the current Ubuntu LTS version is 10.04 and VASmalltalk never run on that system).

But for desktop systems developers must have early access to newer system - just to know, if there is a critical situation  coming in the future. Desktop systems are (at the moment): Windows, MacOS and even Linux. VASmalltalk is only an option for Windows.

@Seth: It worked for ASCII codes, but nor for e.g. German Umlauts.

But Marten, you're practically arguing my point for me!  So far, Instantiations is having enough trouble getting VA Smalltalk to work correctly on current non-Windows systems, and now you're hoping for support on unreleased versions. 

Actually, I agree that it's good to know as early as possible if there's going to be trouble on upcoming versions, but there's already known problems - how do we know if the problems on the next version are new, or just variations on what we're already seeing?
