This one is quite Feisty

The past couple of days I have been evaluating the upcoming version of Ubuntu code-named Feisty Fawn. Feisty seems to be set for greatness. A couple of points of interest:

  1. It "just works" - although I am evaluating Herd 4 I am experiencing very few issues with the system - a very good omen for the final release.
  2. Its fast. Feisty feels extremely responsive in comparison to previous versions - my colleagues have also said the same.
  3. Everything I need is available.
    1. Setting up my ATI screen driver was a breeze
    2. Beagle desktop search was but a "apt-get" away
    3. Bluetooth is available and shows a lot of promise (more on this later)
    4. My laptop suspends/hibernates/resumes without a hitch

Watch this space for more feedback as it becomes available.
