Ubuntu 6.10 edgy is a buggy heap of shit IMO. I am only sticking with it
because I cant be assed to install a different distro - and, in
fairness, fixes are coming in daily. See Ubuntu forums : there are some
very angry people out there.
major issues for me are
1) Flakey sound (nothing new there- was the same in 5.10)
2) Cant shut down if I have vmware installed - some shit about vmnet1
not releasing its resources). Even IF I sont run vmware in that session.
3) Synaptic rarely works - broken packages abound.
Other than that it's great ...
