Just days before the release of Edgy Eft on Thursday, Ubuntu founder Mark Shuttleworth has announced that the next version of Ubuntu Linux, to be released on 19 April 2007, will be named Feisty Fawn....

As for 6.10, when I was reading an early reveiw of the distro, the reveiwer said that they were replacing the Apt-get package manager with somthing called the SMART package manager which didn't make it into this release thank goodness!

it has also become apparent that Ubuntu has tried to progess into a 'bleeding Edge distro' where everything works, this is not so. which is apparent from this reveiw: http://www.linux.com/article.pl?sid=06/10/26/1552208
But not everything HAS to work, this is what the ubuntu team seem to be missing. part of the responsibilty for the maintenence of the system MUST be the users responsibility

The point of this post? there is a very fine line between a leading Edge distro and a Bleeding edge distro and ubuntu seems (to me at least) to be very close to the latter
