The Grumpy Groundhog - Ubuntu for Developers

**loki969** writes "Ubuntu is planing a "cutting edge"-distro, 'The Grumpy Groundhog', which will be aimed explicitly at developers. Here is a quote from their site: 'Upstream development in the open source world moves at a tremendous pace. Many developers like to keep up to date with specific upstream products, but the work involved in building from CVS every day is substantial. With The Grumpy Groundhog Project, Ubuntu provides those developers with a ready source of packages containing the latest upstream code. '"

Re:Unstable, experimental, Ubuntu...?

First of all, Ubuntu's development branch starts off from Unstable, not Experimental. Second of all, by the time that development branch (in this case, Hoary) is released six months later it is quite stable (or should be, anyway--I haven't really had problems personally). I'd say Grumpy would be more like experimental myself, but then again I'm not a troll...

Re:What about...

no, the next release is Breezy Badger... Grumpy Groundhog is not intended for release. It is in the same situation as Debian's Sid... a perpetual testing ground.
