The newest Ubuntu (K/X/Edu as well) is out, Edgy Eft 6.10 is finalized and will be supported for 18 months. (Longer support/users seeking stable proven base should stick with Dapper Drake...) One of the biggest changes I can see from reports is the init process replacement. It sounds like they've yielded some good bootup improvements and I'm looking forward to downloading and trying it out. I found it interesting to see that the plan for the 7.04 release of Ubuntu is to include native support for Autopackage which is another approach to making "just any" old program trivial to install on any linux variant.
