Hi,

looking at http://torrent.ubuntu.com:6969/ leaves me a bit perplexed. I thought i know this much about Ubuntu. I was wrong. If you look closer, you'll find edgy-desktop-i386.iso (528MB) and also ubuntu-6.10-desktop-i386.iso (698MB). What's the difference between those two? Moreover, the site shows some Edgy DVD torrents, the links to which are nowhere else to be found. Can someone explain this mystery to me?

EDIT: if you're curious how i came accross that site, i can tell you i just clicked the 'tracker' link in Azureus.

Hum weird, Edgy is Ubuntu 6.10 so I would just download ubuntu-6.10-desktop-i386.iso

They cannot be the same thing as there is a big difference in size, be carefull.

Also if you intend installing edgy I would recommend the alternate cd and not the desktop one.

Rather look here, http://releases.ubuntu.com/edgy/

You could always compare the size & md5sum values.

I think one is a pre-release, the other is the final.
