- If you plan to use Ardour on Ubuntu, you are <strong>strongly
- recommended</strong> to download the ready-to-run version from
- ardour.org. Ardour's lead developer (and many of the most active
- members of our user community) will not provide support for, and
- will not investigate bugs reported for, Ubuntu's own packages of
- Ardour.
+ Ardour starts up and basically runs, but you encounter subtle
+ problems (for example, with plugin GUIs or with export, or with the
+ use of certain specific plugins), or are missing functionality, or
+ run into crashes.

<dd>
<p>
- If have already installed the Ubuntu package of Ardour and find that
- although the program starts up and basically runs, but you are
- running into more subtle problems (for example, with plugin GUIs or
- with export, or with the use of certain specific plugins), then you
- are <strong>strongly recommended</strong> to download the
- ready-to-run version from ardour.org.
+ Download the ready-to-run version from ardour.org. Ardour's lead
+ developer (and many of the most active members of our user
+ community) will not provide support for, and will not investigate
+ bugs reported for, Ubuntu's own packages of Ardour. The ardour.org
+ packages install along side your distribution versions, and do not
+ interfere or interact in anyway other than sharing your own personal
+ Ardour settings and configuration choices.
