Ubuntu Edgy Eft released

October 27, 2006 By: Richard Shipman Category: Lectures, Technology, Work

I’ve just upgraded this server from Dapper Drake LAMP server to Edgy Eft using apt-get dist-upgrade after changing all occurrences for dapper to edgy in /etc/apt/sources.list, and so far everything looks good.

There are some issues with the new release, but nothing that should affect this server – only things that might affect desktop systems.

It does have quite a lot of new features as standard including Firefox 2.0 and you can still download it unlike Fedora Core 6 which was avaiable for download for a massive 4 hours before it was pulled.

A couple of films to watch – the first pretty short, the second somewhat longer.

No Copy movie
Steal this film

I’m reminded of Michael Moore going on record saying that it’s OK to download his movies and watch them as long as you don’t make a profit from them… A link to the blog on creative commons
