Please do not recommend to newcomers to use Edgy at this point. Look at
the latest Edgy announcement on the devel-announce list:
https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-devel-announce/2006-July/000158.html

Please note that is, among other stuff, says "With the upstream churn in
Edgy settling down, we can start to introduce our own breakage." And
this is not entirely a joke.

Last time I looked, a few days ago, Edgy wouldn't even boot with the
default kernel. If someone is interested in running Edgy now, I would
highly recommend a spare machine or, if you have enough RAM, run it
inside a vmware virtual machine.
