I have around 200 clients that I operate here at Stockholm University, and 
they all run Lunar. Only difference is that we make our own moonbase 
freezes and only make updates that are of security concerns.

This way we are rarely hit by any new moonbase related bugs (because 
it wasn't properly tested). And well maybe it do help that I'm a developer 
and know some of the common quirks around Lunar. We aren't perfect, 
but most source distros have similar problems. I'm sure we will be able to 
improve many of those areas, but all changes take some time, everything 
can't be done over a night.

my 2 cents
