Ribs,

That would give us a slightly less stable release, but we'd get to play with new features and help stablise them for the next LTS release. It seems that edgy is mearly Dapper, but with updated Gnome. Not very impressive yet. I doubt I'll be changing my Dapper install anytime soon. The whole point of this release was to push the boundaries a little bit.

The handy screenshots in the window switching were just to fuzy to make anything of it. I prefer a simple icon.

After running XGL/Compiz and the Novell's SLED desktop for about a week I have to say that the stability and compatability is not there yet. The little annoyances (like entire X-crashes while watching a movie or playing an OpenGL game) is very infrequent, but annoying enough that I think it could really ruin a major launch of a desktop. I am first and foremost looking towards all the enhancements in 6.10 and then secondly looking forward to the release after it near the middle of 2007 that finally integrated not only the X.org 7.1 server but all the fixes that go into Gnome's next release to work better on it. This next release of Gnome is the first with *all* this new work, there is invariably bugs in it, so leaving it off as a default and allowing people to manually install X.org 7.1 and activate it and use it is a great way to get some testing out of it so when they finally do activate the 3D desktop as default in the next-next release of Ubuntu, it should be sufficiently stable. Atleast that's my hope ;) Joseph,
