It’s only been a few weeks since I upgraded from Dapper Drake to Edgy Eft and I have to say that I’m a very happy camper. I haven’t had any of the problems that people report on the forums and in the blogosphere. Sure, there were a few glitches as would be expected with any new release. But I actually had far fewer with Edgy than I had with Dapper. I even got my ATI graphics card (Radeon 9250) working at the first attempt.

And now we have the release dates for Feisty Fawn. The final release is scheduled for 19th April 2007:

Shuttleworth said “the main themes for development in this release will be improvements to hardware support in the laptop, desktop and high-end server market, and an aggressive adoption of emerging desktop technologies.”Ubuntu’s Feisty release will put the spotlight on multimedia enablement and desktop effects. We expect this to be a very gratifying release for both users and developers”.
