Got the point, except that the information has a larger broadcasting
than a single web site.

This is really O.T. :), but you gave me a good idea about installing
FreeBSD on a kvm-supported vm... Thanks!

To agree or disagree you have to be informed.

1) It's a joke
2) there are issues with the system choices in Ubuntu (or there were
some issues) especially on servers, but is really OT in this
mailing list. If you like, we could discuss it in a private e-mail

This is an issue. The real problem is that you should make it easy but
not reduce self-responsibility. It should prevent users from acting
dangerously unless they want - and therefore understand - to do so.
My opinion is that Free Software should differentiate itself from
proprietary software also in not taking design decisions that are
flashy but potentially dangerous, I would never read the adjective
"madness" describing a design decision in a Free Software item (I
got it in a Microsoft Press book of the mid '90, and was about the 32
bit architecture).
