Dancing the Feisty Dance
Dec. 1st, 2006 01:23 am... although I still wish it were called that fallacious ferret. =)
As an Ubuntu core-dev (although not on the Canonical Distro team, more like a community member who happens to work for Canonical on other things), I feel like I should run the latest distro on my machines. I tend to think this is doubly true since I hack on things like glibc. And if it's not good enough for me to run...
Usually, though, it's a bit of a rough slog. Even when I ran Debian unstable on my boxes, there usually wasn't transition after transition landing every day. Even the Gnome folks started to stage things in experimental and make sure they worked before doing the upload to unstable.
So it's a bit surprising that so far with feisty, I've had really good luck and am finding the experience nice and smooth: suspend even works on my laptop now. Further, I'm upgrading my belle's machine so that she can get the integrated sudoku into gnome-games and I'll probably also try out gnash for her.
