I am proud to say I finally made the time for an upgrade to feisty (only on my work machine for now) and just wanted to report that after getting everything upgraded from edgy and resolving dependencies (from non official repository installed apps that aptitude didn't like because i deleted the repository they came from) I can honestly say that Feisty covered my only complaint from both the Dapper and Edgy install: The usplash works on AMD64.... I know its a small complaint but I just felt it would be confusing for some users to go from a grub menu to a blank screen and was very glad it was fixed in Feisty. One thing I found to be strange was that once I performed the upgrade I went from the standard theme for Edgy (Clearlooks) to what the theme manager still claimed to be clearlooks but ended up looking like this: <a href="http://swooh.kicks-ass.org/~adam/feistyB1_wtf.png"> http://swooh.kicks-ass.org/~adam/feistyB1_wtf.png</a> (note: I changed the panel layout, my only concern is the gtk theme) ... it also took away Tango as the default icon theme, though it is a minor issue and I actually customized it to something i ended up really liking, i can see this as being a potential issue with some users. I didn't really find it to be worthy of a bug report because I assume it might have had something to do with the way i did the upgrade (I edited my sources.list to point to feisty and did an aptitude dist-upgrade) or possibly just a setting somewhere in a meta package that i didn't allow to update because i told aptitude to keep the one i have. .... but in the end, just wanted to mention it and be sure to say how impressed I am with how wonderful Feisty is as a whole and how sorry I am that I wasn't able to be more involved during this devel cycle. So kudos to all developers involved, special thanks to Jani for leading the project as well as special thanks to Jim for leading the testing (I plan to help you as much as possible in the final crunch time now that I have a Feisty install). .... sorry if this email seems mildly pointless, I know it doesn't pertain to substantial business but I am just really excited about Feisty (as well as Feisty+1) and wanted to touch base on the current state of things -Adam -- -=:max:=-
