If Dapper continues to get upgrades after Edge is released that will keep me
happy. :-)
Lots of interesting stuff in this article. Having Xen-enabled kernels by
default sounds good. May be I will eventually migrate my windows to a Xen
virtual machine.
The SMART package manager looks really good too. I presume they are going to
drop Adept. I think a lot of us prefer to use Synaptic anyway.
I think Edge will have to be testdriven on my test box if it's going to be
bleeding edge. :-)
Should be interesting to see what it does for the fortunes of Ubuntu over
the longer term.
