NoOp, Can I BTW your BTW? I have no major issue with what you said, however everything I read online....Kubuntu 7.04 went BETA a couple days ago. You can read the articles and judge for yourself.
http://kubuntu.org/announcements/7.04-beta.php http://www.kdedevelopers.org/node/2741 The final release date is set for 19 Apr 07, hence the version number 7.04. https://wiki.kubuntu.org/FeistyReleaseSchedule I have about 30 minutes or so before my upgrade is finished, I heard many good things about Feisty and am impatiently waiting...
