Still don't know what the Gnome versions have to do with Xfce, but it clears a little of my confusion up. :) -Adam <div>On 11/1/06, Jim Campbell <<a href="mailto:jwcampbell@gmail.com"> jwcampbell@gmail.com</a>> wrote:<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">Adam . . .

Dapper is running 2.14.2 or .3 which was the stable at that release and Edgy is running 2.16.1 which is stable at it's release. Xubuntu is running beta2/rc1 of XFCE why not keep updating until the final 4.4 is out? Why not release xubuntu with <a href="http://4.2.3.2" target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)">4.2.3.2</a> until 4.4 is out then? Are they backporting Edgy's version of XFCE to Dapper then?

Personally I may even skip Edgy and update to Feisty in April... at least I do not see any strong reason to switch to Edgy at the moment...
