Ubuntu-devel-discuss Digest, Vol 82, Issue 2

[AG Restringere]

By the way, if you would like to see Ubuntu embrace a rapid-release cycle
and release really fresh Nvidia drivers the bug I filed was upgraded to
Wishlist meaning you can actually vote for it being implemented by logging
in to your www.launchpad.net account clicking on "this bug affects me" and
clicking yes.  Thank you.
