upgrading to feisty

[Lachlan Musicman]

I just did sudo vim /etc/apt/sources.list, then :%s/edgy/feisty/g,
sudo apt-get update, sudo apt-get upgrade

plenty of stuff broke, similar issues with the ATI card (no X, dumped
to command line), missing themes etc.

Is ok, but I also recommend staying with edgy until more stability is available
