Upgrade to Fiesty

[Ron Morse]

I did it just before Herd 1...it mostly worked, but I ended up saving 
personal data and wiping/reinstalling from the Herd 1 CD when it 
became available because I was having a host of niggling little 
problems.  Things were much better after the CD install, and I've 
been on apt-get dist-upgrade since (Adept updater is currently 
broken). All this on vanilla Intel hardware with the x86-generic 
kernel. 

In fact, Feisty is at a really interesting stage of development right 
now and there is _a lot_ of brokenness to savor and enjoy. One of the 
main things going in right now is the migration to Python 2.5 and 
that means a lot of redoing KDE and KDE applications. Also, things 
like Open Office were killed for awhile, but I think that one's been 
sorted. 

Today's update has a new flashplayer non-free package that totally and 
absolutely killed Firefox on one of my machines but not the other, so 
I'm still working on that one.
