Previewing Dapper And Edgy

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.'"

Re:VIA C3 Bug

Sounds to me like it's VIA's C3 bug, not Ubuntu's bug. Maybe you should get a distro compiled for i586 or even i386 instead of for i686, as a workaround?

Honestly, with titles like "Debian Woody", "Breezy Badger", "Dapper Drake" etc. is it any wonder the rest of the world thinks the Linux crowd are a bunch of Nerdy Nutcases?

Previewing what, now?

I always think the articles having to do with Ubuntu builds are LSD-induced when I first see them.

I wasn't criticizing developers in my original post. But I am certainly criticizing you, now that you've crawled out from under your rock.

You are the poster child for developers who can't communicate. Who posts obnoxious hyperbole and strawman arguments. Using my post as a random excuse to insult users. Thanks for proving my point. Now go back to your flatfood cube and stop bothering the humans - they might not use the software you're cranking out when they realize what might be lurking behind it. You're giving us developers who can communicate with users a bad name.
