Line 32: I haven't installed Edgy because I heard some people were having problems. I'm waiting for that to get settled out. Also, why should I have to upgrade to get a new version of FF? What if I didn't want to upgrade because Dapper is going to be supported for a longer time? If I install manually, won't it confuse synaptic in the future (because it won't know that I installed it myself)?

Regular Ubuntu packages get installed to /usr/, not /usr/local/, so synaptic won't notice. --'''[[User:Kjoonlee\|Kjoon]]'''[[User talk:Kjoonlee\|lee]] 17:09, 12 November 2006 (UTC) :Yep. Edgy Eft is a hot-off-the-presses release, so I would say don't upgrade. It's not really necessary to, and I sure haven't. I prefer stability over cutting-edge. [[User:Cephyr\|Cephyr]] 03:35, 15 November 2006 (UTC) According to this wiki post [https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates], Ubuntu doesn't update the packages unless a critical security update is present. Hope that helps. --[[User:Inkybutton\|inky]] 07:10, 14 November 2006 (UTC)
