I thought the new version was to be released on the 16th....
Drapper Drake... yet its still in alpha 6
Am I wrong, or are they copying Vista's strategy of delays?

Ubuntu means: "see the view" in other words "vista" in african.

African? I don't think there is any such language.

My fluids are building up to bursting. Hmm, so much for their
predictable release schedule.

Actually, from my point of view, I would have liked to see them release
it on time. They could always make the next release the supported release.

I'm given to understand in Breezy Badger, a recently-released version of
Gnome was bunged in at the last moment. I disagree with this decision on
2 grounds:
1. the developers had to work a lot of overtime to get it in, which is
kinda unfair on the developers
2. cramming stuff in at the last moment is a recipe for disaster.

Given the frequency of their releases, there is no real need for them to
rush anything.

Probably 2 releases a year is too much, anyway. It makes it more
difficult to achieve complicated enhancements.

Still, what would I know, I'm not a multi-millionare like Mr
Shuttleworth :(

I had a go on Dapper Drake a few months ago. I would have liked to have
seen a visual change in the design of it but it all seemed the same. Unless
they can offer a good reason to upgrade, I can see no point.
 
I did not attach the word "language" after "African", you did!

Please read here http://www.ubuntu.com/
"Ubuntu" is an ancient African word, meaning "humanity to others". Ubuntu
also means "I am what I am because of who we all are". The Ubuntu Linux
distribution brings the spirit of Ubuntu to the software world.

And here for more details :
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ubuntu_(ideology)

I might have meant African dialect.... I am well aware that there are many
languages in Africa...


- Ubuntu means: "sneaky newgroup people try to distort your words" in
African
