Ever year, Linus Torvalds goes on vacation to Australia, during which he usually also visits linux.conf.au. During his stay this year he gave an interview to ComputerWorld, in which he talked about the success of point releases and the important topic of file systems in Linux, which is quite an active field today with ext4 and Btrfs. He also gave some insights into why he switched away from KDE, moving to GNOME instead, and he shares his thoughts on Windows 7.

Would you mind stopping with your FUD?
First Kubuntu does use deb, not rpm.
And second the support goes longer than 6 months it is 1 and a half years and then you still can download the packages. The only thing that changes is that you do not get any updates.
