would love to be able to attend the party, but alas, I have family
commitments this weekend. (A younger sister is turning 30, and it will
also be her first birthday in more than a decade unattached to her
soon-to-be-former husband.)
Here are two packages that shouldn't be missed when checking out Hardy:
etckeeper: Do any of you keep your /etc directories under version
control? etckeeper makes it easy to keep it in version control with
bzr, git, or hg. It automates the tracking of user/group permissions,
and perhaps best of all, it hooks in to apt/dpkg so that it gets called
automatically when you perform package management operations.
kubuntu-kde4: In the universe repository there's a version of Kubuntu
using the beta of KDE4. (I think there will be Kubuntu-KDE4 ISOs, too.)
The KDE fans should check it out if they've not looked at what is in
store for KDE4. It definitely looks interesting. I must also warn,
though, that though it looks neat, KDE4 is still in beta. Some things
have not been ported to KDE4 (the Kubuntu-KDE4 package includes the KDE3
packages in those cases), and I've seen some stability problems with it
(not surprising this early).
Cheers,
Steven Black
