Unless they back off, it's within a few days of release. CoLoCo (the
local Ubuntu group) is holding a release party Friday nght at the

Just an FYI re the -20 kernel. The new libata is now in effect, and
ALL SATA and IDE drives (even if you have no SATA) are now addressed

I've been running the 32-bit version for many months, and it's quite reliable.
