[Ubuntu-SG] Ubuntu 7.04 (Feisty Fawn) Beta Released

[Chen Xiangpeng]

Here's my personal review:

Getting to feisty:
I didn't had much problems with my upgrade, though YMMV. I happen to do the
upgrade because I am between sems in my part time degree program and I can
risk the breakage. It'll be worse for me if I upgrade on 19th April as I
will be having lessons by then.

New stuff:
The new stuff ain't really so new to me, I had the network manager app
installed since dapper, been using restricted drivers by default to get my
3d card as well as wireless working. I also had those codecs installed using
automatix long ago. As for the 3d desktop, I believe most of you guys here
would have tried beryl/compiz long ago, so that's nothing new too. So for
you seasoned users of Ubuntu, the new stuff probably won't be apparent to
you, as they are more tuned towards the new user

Summary:
Unless you really wanna try the new KVM module, you can prolly stick to edgy
till april 19th :-)

Ps: Hey Billy, you wanna convert ubuntu.sg to a blog/info page? I think we
can promote the mailing list there, as well as put up a few links to the
public and some introduction and recruitment info. If we can promote this
site enough, I think we might get enough people to get ubuntu-sg to be
officially recognised as a full loco team :)
