Ubuntu, Kubuntu, Xubuntu Ubuntu developers are finalising preparations for the release of the next version - dubbed Feisty Fawn - of the popular Linux distribution in mid-April. Overnight, Ubuntu developer Tollef Fog Heen announced Ubuntu's main software repository had been frozen - with no changes allowed to the code - as developers got ready to issue a fifth major test version ('Herd 5') of the next version of Ubuntu.

I am typing this from one of my personal boxes running Feisty Fawn. So far it has proven stable to me as well.

Everything works, though I need to do something about the fonts on this particular box, blech. Will have to figure out what I have wrong since it is the only Ubuntu box I have problems with the fonts on.

I hope the release a server iso this time though. For some reason herd 4 did not have one. I prefer to use the server iso then build my desktop from there since I do not like some of the package choices in the desktop iso (network manager...)
