Hello, Chris.

Are there any 'point' releases of the current LTS planned?

It might resolve some hardware problems if new kernel modules were 
included in, say, a 6.06.2 LTS release, and existing LTS users could get 
the same updated modules from the package repositories.

I've got to admit, I have put Feisty on a desktop at home to try it out 
but I use Dapper LTS with my port of openMosix 2.4.26-om1 on our Beowulf 
cluster. This is one reason why I want to use the LTS version.

I'm also use a Dapper 6.06.1 LTS derivative that I've created called 
'biobuntu' as part of an EU-funded genomics project. I've put up a demo 
server at:

	http://nbx2.nugo.org

I've built a live/install DVD for this using "Reconstructor", but it's 
not quite ready for public release. I use 'biobuntu' on my laptop ;-)

Best wishes,

	Tony.
