What, there's not going to be a Feisty Final torrent?!?!?!??

Yes, I wouldn't mess about with new releases if I was doing critical
work on my machine either.  Because I'm not, though, I'm freed up to
muck around in the sandpit of new releases to see which direction the
distro is heading in and what the new toys are.

That said, once you've got things set up, that's that, and Feisty then
isn't a million miles away from 6.06.

LOL.  I've heard people lauding the wonders of this and that repository,
but I try to avoid all that.  I learnt the hard way when I started out,
trying anything and everything I could.  Good way to learn, bad for
stability when you want to use your computer for actually doing
things...like, er, work!
