I have just installed Feisty on the laptop I am using. Installation was not as smooth as I would imagine, since I had some problems:
- Hibernation
does not work. It did on 6.10 (after I fixed it)works, after some hacking. Hibernation is so broken on Linux/Ubuntu... It was bug #66637. Again! - Booting was taking forever because of a vfat partition (bug #47382). Fixed it running
dossfck -ar /dev/sda1(with the partition unmounted). - Translation problems (in update-manager and in apport). These are minor problems.
- Cannot install auctex. Which means I cannot work (properly) whilst it is not fixed.
- The driver for Broadcom 43xx (or my wireless card) still does not do WPA2 Entreprise (i.e., no e-U). (Maybe this problem is Redhat's bug #213088.)
- NetworkManager still does not save connection with the type of "Connect to other wireless network". You have to fill the connection details: Every. Single. Time. Filled bug #426304.
- Firefox 2 still has that stupid bug where some pages are resolved (i.e., the title changes and the URL changes) but they are not displayed.
So... instead of being productive, I have been fighting the OS... go figure...
Update: found out relevant bugs.

e-U com o NetworkManager (um dos últimos posts):

Também é uma vergonha o péssimo suporte (perto de nenhum) que o e-U dá ao Linux.
Já configurei, mas ainda não testei na FCUL.
O NetworkManager grava as definições, mas não permite aceder-lhes para modificar sem preencher tudo novamente. :-(
Não uso o emacs, mas o auctex instalou bem aqui (com o emacs21), os pacotes são dos repositórios oficiais?
Há quem sugira o wicd:

I was going precisely through the same: wasting more time configuring the laptop than actually using it. Configuring e-U is really a pain in the ass. Nothing is automated and you have to invoke the WPA supplicant manually, which sucks.
Either ways, then I bought a MacBook. Everything works flawlessly. I still love Linux and I have it on my MacBook too (Debian, of course!) and my desktop also runs Linux -- Mac OS X can't compete with apt-get! But for laptops, I gave up. I'm not up to the hassle of having it configured properly -- I can't waste that much time.
Feisty works well (right now iSight is broken and wifi needs ndiswrapper, but works well) on the MacBook. :)
NetworkManager (and other GUIs) configura wpa without messing around config files. But the e-U people don't worry with having good Linux information, making it look all dificult to configure. Bah! :P
IST has a nice explanation on how to do it with with NetworkManager.
Yes, all packages are from the official repo's.
Podes sempre experimentar o pye-u (que entretanto vai levar um rewrite da GUI :) ) que usa o wpa_supplicant para fazer a ligação.
svn checkout http://pye-u.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/ pye-u
Pois, já tenho o py-eu nos meus bookmarks há algum tempo. Vou sacá-lo. E sim, o UI está a precisar de amor ;)
i use wicd
networkmanager just doesn´t do it for me.
i need more control over my configurations, but the wired connection config i still do int the old config tool.
i am using know feisty in amd64 whit compiz working
Isso por acaso está mais estável ou nem por isso? Queria instalar o novo 7.04 mas não quero ter trabalhinho nenhum. Já me basta ter que gravar para DVD todo o "lixo" que tinha aqui ^_^
