Ubuntu Feisty Fawn Drawing Near

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the millions-rejoicing-in-the-street dept.

daria42 writes "Ubuntu developers are finalizing preparations for the release of the next version — dubbed Feisty Fawn — of the popular Linux distribution in mid-April. Overnight, Ubuntu developer Tollef Fog Heen announced Ubuntu's main software repository had been frozen — with no changes allowed to the code — as developers got ready to issue a fifth major test version ("Herd 5") of the next version of Ubuntu."

  1. I'm using feisty since herd 1 by vivaoporto · · Score: 5, Interesting

    And I can say is that Feisty is a big improvement over Edgy, both in hardware support and software "smoothness". It is a pity that Xorg 7.2 will not be ready for Feisty launch, but this is certainly a candidate to bring an alternative to Windows on the Desktop.

  2. Why Xorg 7.2 is so important? by pato101 · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Please would you point major features of Xorg 7.2 so it is a pity it does not get included? (not pretending to troll, I'm just ignorant).

  3. Will Feisty Fawn be an LTS release? by ELiTeUI · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Dapper Drake (6.06) was an LTS release. Edgy Eft (6.10) was not an LTS release. Does anyone know if Feisty Fawn will be LTS or not?

    Yeah, that's what I used to say, but care to venture a guess as to why Wordpad can't read .DOC's in Vista?
