[mdlug] Chaning distros

[Lou Novak]

A few final comments.

FF2.0 has not yet been back ported to the Long Term Support release Dapper.

In my day, 'bleeding edge' meant installing the nightly build of an unreleased
version or even building directly from the code repository, *NOT* just using
the latest released version.

In no sense of the word is Ubuntu 'bleeding edge'. Some releases may push
things a little further than others as Edgy did, but it's all released and
fully supported versions of the software included.

Thanks,
