Hi Friends, i am using Ubuntu Feisty Fawn ( Development Branch ) and updating it regularly. i executed 'ts' instead of 'ls' in terminal and here is the output Code: casper@devils-den:~ $ ts The program 'ts' is currently not installed. You can install it by typing: sudo apt-get install moreutils Make sure you have the 'universe' component enabled bash: ts: command not found its not just throwing command not found error but its giving full details if package having same name is available in sources. here is more Code: casper@devils-den:~ $ trn The program 'trn' can be found in the following packages: * trn * trn4 Try: sudo apt-get install <selected package> Make sure you have the 'multiverse' component enabled bash: trn: command not found i am impressed. a lot of things have been changed in Feisty and its becoming more and more user friendly. i thought i should share it with you all. __________________ It takes a lot of time to be a genius, you have to sit around so much doing nothing, really doing nothing. - Gertrude Stein New Users: Read This First

I'll probably order it through Shipit and if I get impatient find somewhere to download it. __________________ Registered Linux user #270181 TechieMoe's Tech Rants

Funny you started this thread, as I was just thinking about trying out Feisty today. As it is less then a month from release, I would bet it is pretty stable by now. __________________ "To express yourself in freedom, you must die to everything of yesterday.

I liked that they made the codecs easier to identify and install, this is just amazing though. __________________ Registered Linux user #378740 New members read here / Forum Rules #linuxforums on irc.freenode.net

I don't think they're doing a ship-it for it, they're still shipping Dapper because it's the LTS release.

I'm aware that right now they're shipping Dapper, but I was under the impression that Feisty was their next major LTS release. Was I mistaken?

Then again, I'll see how the beta release in three days is. __________________ Looking for a distro? Look here.

Posts: 102	Ubuntu Feisty Testing has presented me with several problems simmilar to the ones Debian is presenting me at the moment (mostly related to the internet, and I like the Internet), I'm going to wait until Debian and Ubuntu Feisty fix this problem. __________________ That's my two pence worth.
