The Edgy Eft – Ubuntu

The codename for dapper +1 has been announced – The Edgy Eft
I’d love to know where they find some of these names 🙂

An Eft is a youthful newt, going through its first exploration of the rocky territory just outside the stream.

Some of the planned additions sound very interesting:

So dream a little about Xen for virtualisation, Xgl/AIGLX and other wonderful wobbly window bits, the goodness of Network Manager, a first flirt with multiarch support for true mixed 32-bit and 64-bit computing on AMD64, the interesting possibilities of the SMART package manager…
and other pieces of infrastructure which have appeared tantalisingly on the horizon.
