I'm going to mark Edgy as unstable. That is: <blockquote style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;" class="gmail_quote"><a href="http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/xubuntu/releases/6.10/release/" title="Click here to download the latest stable release"> 6.10, codename Edgy Eft (stable release)</a></blockquote><div> to <blockquote style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;" class="gmail_quote"><a href="http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/xubuntu/releases/6.10/release/" title="Click here to download the latest stable release"> 6.10, codename Edgy Eft (unstable release)</a> </blockquote></div> I think we can all agree Edgy is... Edgy (aka unstable). If anyone objects, please feel free to change it back. Thanks, Cody A.W.
