Here is a review of Feisty Fawn. Reader LinuxScribe sends us to LinuxPlanet for the story on a pleasant Java surprise in the release.

I already heard this from Michael Dell.

Finally!

At last, Ubuntu are all set to work on the release they really wanted to push: Generic Gnu!

(Of course, it'll be a Gazelle, but hey.)

Let's not forget The Pirate Bay, people. They've had this up since 03:00 UTC. I told The Pirate Bay that there was no piracy involved, it was perfectly legal to copy Ubuntu discs and pass them around.

They got all stroppy and took it down immediately.

Might skip this version

and the next one...

Bring on Version 9: Hungry Hungry Hippo!

[jetxee]

Well said and sad. The cheat of Linux distros. Way too easy to get it working...

Re:Java is not YET Free software

[Vexorian]

Yeah everybody knows linux should stay pushing philosophies instead of actually work. Who needs users anyways?

Have you fallen through a wormhole from 2003 or something?

[dfay]

Ah, but is it a PROPER-FINAL release? Or is it just another tired beta leak from a group trying to get a reputation?

Re:Upgrade from 6.10

As always, back up your computer fist.

Agreed about the fist. When upgrading, I too curl my fingers into that well-known "computer fist" as I anticipate what I am about to do. But backing the fist up (usually up and to the right, near my ear) is important, so that it will have maximal effect when I pound it down on the desk in frustration, when something inevitably breaks. Or even if something doesn't, to celebrate. A good way to relieve tension, but it does interfere with typing.

Very carefully

The pure adrenaline pumping through my veins is the sole reason I don't do backups during system upgrades.
