Previewing Dapper And Edgy

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the feel-the-excitement dept.

Frank Clarkson writes to mention a ZDNet article about the upcoming release of 'Dapper Drake', Ubuntu Linux. They also give a mini-preview of Eft. From the article: "'I'm promising to impose (almost ;-) ) zero from-the-top requirements for Edgy, this release is entirely up the to development team to envision and implement,' he wrote. 'Almost everything that lands in Edgy will be driven from the development team, who get to play with whatever new technologies they fancy along the way. So that should give us a nice big bump in infrastructure and bling.'"

    ...for Edgy, this release is entirely up the to development team to envision and implement...

    So then can we assume this will be the long desired porn-centric distro we have all been waiting for?

      Yes, but it's going to be well-dressed animal porn...

      No, it'll be the "fornicating fox" release.

    Oh come on, everyone knows that being ultra bleeding edge and uber 733t makes a dev a dev. Edgy is meant to make even the most lowly script kiddie feel like a pro. Everyone else with any combination of the terms business, leader, production, casual, student or user will never go near something that by its very description steps off the well beaten path.

      I guess this is the "funny names" thread. In that case:

      Pervy Penguin gets my vote for the first porn-centric distro.

    You know, my domain name doesn't seem nearly as cool anymore now that Linux nerds are using "dapper" in distro names... wait a minute, I am a Linux nerd. Crap, I guess I was never cool in the first place.

    What's that? 1337 for "teet"?
    Is that how you pronounce "tit"? Or is it just a Freudian slip?
