Feisty Fawn is out Thursday

If you’ve been waiting for Feisty’s stable release before you try out Ubuntu, the wait is almost over.

Version 7.04 subbed “Feisty Fawn” will be released this Thursday. The official Web site now has a countdown on it.

I’ve been running Feisty since it was in alpha in January, and have been watching the bugs slowly vanish from the OS. I’m quite happy with it at this point. If you’re interested in giving it a try, then now is the time.

Hopefully the release will be as good as Dapper and not another debacle like Edgy. That and I want my Broadcom 43xx to work out of the box. THEN I’ll be impressed.

FYI, I am running the official Feisty release right now. As a tester, the upgrade path has turned my machine into the actual release version.

-d@cinnamon:~$ lspci | grep com
-06:00.0 Ethernet controller: Broadcom Corporation NetXtreme
-BCM5705_2 Gigabit Ethernet (rev 03)

Well, the 57xx works out of the box

To be honest, the only thing that has given me any trouble was my Texas Instruments SD card reader. It detects fine, but it doesn’t automount, and I haven’t figured out how to make it mount.

Edgy worked fine … there was the fiasco when a bad update release broke gdm for everyone, but other than that it’s been fine. That happened long before I installed Edgy anyway.

To be honest, the whole reason I upgraded to Fesity was I wanted to be able to apt-get the new Gaim (now Pidgin) which had QQ support.

Have your say
