"The trifecta comprising the solution's most valuable features consists of its stability, security and performance."
"The solution is very stable, it does not need to restart to maintain stability."

"The biggest improvement, which is also applicable to Linux in general, with Ubuntu Linux is getting things standardized as to where you're going to put your configuration files and how they're going to work. Package names also need to be improved so that the package name doesn't have any match with configuration file systems and things like that. Ubuntu is still better than some of the others, such as Red Hat Linux or CentOS."
"The support can be improved."
"The performance of this product could still be improved, as it's always good to improve on the performance of any product, no matter how satisfied you are with it."
