Yes, that's him! That's how I knew about him. He used to live in Wolverhampton (probably still does) and after he left uni he worked for Open Advantage in Birmingham. I was surprised to see how he's moved on ...

It would be good if he wrote something for LFO ... A tie-in with the wider community etc.

Haven't tried it yet but I'm looking forward to the Upstart feature being turned on by default and seeing what effect that has on things. (for info http://upstart.ubuntu.com/ )

Apparently they're printing discs for it even if it isn't an LTS release. __________________ Registered Linux user #270181 TechieMoe's Tech Rants

Yup, Feisty Fawn is available via Shipsit since April 11.

I'm afraid the release of Feisty will be delayed though. The release candidate was due yesterday (April 12, see Feisty Release Schedule), but as of today it is still not out.

However I suspect it will come out today (the RC), as no daily build came out today (something must be up):

I bought a new motherboard a month or so ago and ran into problems with my on-board sound (Nvidia HD audio). With Debian Etch and Suse 10.0 I was unable to get the sound to work. I installed the latest alsa components and kernel but to no avail. Many articles about my specific sound problem pointed to the Linux kernel as the solution. I was told to install a disto with the latest kernel compiled. I choose Ubuntu Feisty and sound worked on install. I am a little disappointed with the differences with Debian and Ubuntu but am overall pleased with the distro. I just love apt-get. Long live Synaptic.
