- Was Feisty really ready for release?

[Jimmy Frydkær Jensen]

Greetings friends

I've been monitoring the activity regarding Ubuntu 7.04 Feisty Fawn and
the question pointed out if it was to early to release? Personally I'd say
NO - The release wasn't to early. As with Edgy, (6.10) and Dapper, (6.06)
which I've just a few days ago installed on my mothers old AMD Athlon 1000
MHz, she's 67 years old, and she just L O V E Ubuntu compared to MS Win XP
Pro.

I run Feisty 7.04 on both my desktop and my main server at home, and both
runs like any system administrator would like: Without instances or
error-messages.

I don't know if I just been lucky when I bought my hardware, both, as
you'd know, comes in two different setups.

My server is:

AMD Athlon XP 2800+ (32 bit)
MSI 65xx motherboard with VIA KT400 chipset
1 GB mixed-name DDR RAM at 300 MHz
Maxtor 200 GB SATA hard drive
nVidia GF 4200SE with 128 MD RAM
NEC 3550A dual-layer DVD-RW
Onboard NetXtreme 1 Gigabit network

Workstation is:

AMD64 Athlon 3000+
MSI motherboard with VIA K8M800 chip
1 GB DDR RAM 400 MHz
Samsung 160 GB SATA harddrive
ATI Radeon 9600 256 MB
Samsung DVD-RW
Onboard 10/100 LAN

I haven't had a single prob with any of my Ubuntu 7.04 installs. They just
run as they are supposed to: Without weird error-messages.
I've hot-plocked my 200 GB USB hard drive countless times, and it has
caused no troubles what so ever. Even the sound-card, which is onboard
just works their bits out.

So, if you ask me if Feisty Fawn was to early, I'd say no - I'd never had
any system that runs smoother on any computer I've been working with the
past 16 years. Novell NetWare included. And I HAVE seen Linux go crazy due
to incompatible hardware. I lost more than 400 GB of data once due to a
disk-error in SuSE Linux 9,3. So.....

Ubuntu IS, and will continue to be the system on my present and future
computers. I've come to love working with it, and it does what I ask of
it.

So - Keep up the great work that is already being produced.

Jimmy
