Dapper Drake flight CD 3
A few days ago the announcement went out that Ubuntu 6.04 (aka Dapper Drake), slated to release in April, was in more widespread alpha testing. Although I figure they wouldn't do what they call "flight CD 3" without first doing flight CDs 1 & 2, I downloaded the LiveCD version to boot and run the system from CD.
(Do we do a LiveCD with OpenSolaris? I guess the answer is yes, again yes, and wow! this one looks cool, as long as we means "the set of hackers out there on the Internet." Better review that soon.)
The LiveCD works well out of the box. The only bugs noticed so far are that the network icon seems stuck with a "do not enter" icon, despite the fact that I have wireless Ethernet running fine, and that the device manager won't start. If this LiveCD is a good indicator of what's going to come out in April, the upgrade should be smooth.
