The Newt Cometh...

Today I took the plunge and updated my system to Edgy Eft (the Ubuntu release scheduled for October). This was probably quite silly, doing it so early in the release cycle (it's using an unstable version of Gnome, and the bootsplash is a hideous testcard thingy), but I like to keep things up to date, and I needed some core packages updating to run some software I wanted to use. The only downside I've found so far is I can't use Xgl & Compiz anymore (xorg 7.1 has problems with nvidia and disappearing fonts), but that's not that big a loss, seeing as my graphics card can't really handle it anyway (it was really slow).

Everything seems pretty stable so far, although Im just waiting for something horrible to happen (as tends to happen to me after an upgrade).
