The Ubuntu team announced the release of Ubuntu 6.10, codenamed 'Edgy Eft'. Highlights for the desktop include GNOME 2.16, Firefox 2.0, OpenOffice.org 2.0.4, Gaim 2.0 and two new applications, F-Spot and Tomboy. This release also features a pre-release of the upcoming LTSP-5, as well as the usual updates of the base system, with GCC 4.1.1, Glibc 2.4 and Linux 2.6.17. There's a screenshot tour already, while Mark Shuttleworth commented on the news concerning Oracle and Linux. Update: The first review in what will probably become a long list. Update II: Kubuntu 6.10 is released as well.

it seems to be a far snappier system than 6.06, although I am not sure if that is because of improvements in gnome, or in ubuntu.
I am happy with it, at the minute.... but I have only been using it for a few hours, I will need more time to decide.
BUT, for the undecided out there, go for it, I had no problems during/after the upgrade, everything is working sweetly, and best of all.... it is quick
