Breezy Badger milestone release "Colony 3" now available

[Lukas Sabota]

I just upgraded to the Colony 3 release.  Overall, it is very usable.  
I'm very pleased with all of the xorg modulazation that has been coming 
along.  I've noticed a couple problems that I'd like to leave some 
feedback on.

I ran the command specified.  On my next boot, I received no information 
about the boot process, just the Ubuntu logo and a white box where the 
bootup output should go.  Then, I changed my vga kernel setting to 791, 
and I just was given a black screen until X started.  Hmm, what's the 
deal there?

Mmm, quite beautiful :)  A big improvement over add/remove in hoary.  
What programs are installable by this program?

Very nice!  Hopefully this will be consistant through the entire Ubuntu 
desktop soon :)

This is a very good start!  But, there is no way to set POSIX/C as the 
system default.  And how well does this integrate with GDM?

Another problem I've noticed:  I cannot switch to any of my v/cs... 
Alt-ctrl-f1 throgh f6 do nothing...

Are other people sharing my experiances?

God Bless,
