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.'"

    There was a story the other day that Larry Ellison wanted to buy a Linux distro. Suse and Red Hat were mentioned. Putting aside my feelings about Ellison, any evil intentions he may have are doomed by people like Mark Shuttleworth. My goodness, what a contrast.

  2. Maybe gnucash-2.0 will make Edgy. by Grendel+Drago · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Despite the delay, my favorite new app, gnucash-2.0, won't be in Dapper. Here's hoping I can get it in Edgy, so I don't have to do this compiling nonsense...

    So we'll determine the next version of Ubuntu that practically everyone uses by what the developers want.

    How about an experiment where the users determine the features of the leading desktop Linux distro?
