I've upgraded both leon (one of my computers at home) and quant (my work machine) to Kubuntu Edgy Eft (now in [Release Candidate](https://wiki.kubuntu.org/EdgyEft/RC/Kubuntu) status, [screenshots here](http://www.thecodingstudio.com/opensource/linux/screenshots/index.php?linux_distribution_sm=Kubuntu%206.10%20RC)). Leon's upgrade went perfectly, while quant gave me some headaches. First of all there was a conflict between packages, then the nvidia module for legacy hardware wouldn't load:

FATAL: Module nv not found.

In the end I manually compiled the nvidia module, and had to insert it via insmod or it would give out a cryptic error message ("error running install for module nvidia"). I think most of the headaches are coming out because I was using a custom kernel and because I dist-upgraded to a still unstable distribution. In any case, I'm quite pleased so far with Edgy, and once it becomes official I'll put it on my laptop as well.
