blueprints.launchpad.net — as discussed at the developer meeting yesterday, we're going to opt for leaving xserver 1.4 for Gutsy+1. In checking with some upstream xorg developers, they concur this is probably the wise approach given our release schedule. [this also means that display-config-gtk will be delayed as well]. Xorg 7.3 slated for August 29, too late for gutsy.

This, and the fact that KDE4 and other stuff won't be ready or not default for 7.10 is amounting, to me, that Gutsy Gibbon will be a relatively non-eventful release, compared to 7.04. I think I'll just wait for 8.04, when all the really nice stuff is going to be included or set to be default, and as a plus, it will have LTS.

You are just not trying. I crashed my Ubuntu today to the point I had to turn it off to reboot. Did not even get a fancy blue screen. What a waste.

I'm with you... While I can reconfigure my xorg manually, I would prefer not to if I don't have to, unless of course it's an emergency and I need to. It never hurts to have experience, but to have to do this often is simply a waste of time. In a business environment, time is money.

Why does this article make it seem like Xorg 7.3 has been delayed? Xorg isn't working off of the Ubuntu release schedule, there's a lot more distro's out there which will have it. Distro's like Gentoo which don't work off of a release cycle to group package, once you install it you're always up to date.Besides, according to a phoronix.com article, it's xserver 1.4 which will make it into Ubuntu around Spring 2008, not 1.3 which is out this month.<a class="user" href="http://www.phoronix.com/?page=news_item&px=NTk4OQ">http://www.phoronix.com/?page=news_item&px=NTk4OQ</a>

What is this "Gentoo" you speak of? Is that a new version of Ubuntu? What do you mean by "other distros"?You must be new here.
