    Dapper, what to do, what to do??


    hi , I was wondering if it did came the time to make the upgrade to dapper.
    so, this flight 6 is the last beta? is on the stable side already, or are there lots of breaking parts still on it?
    (my fingers are aching for get changing the sources.list to dapper right now...)
    I do use the box for working, so of course I don't want the system to break down....

    to do it, the dist-upgrade, or not to do it?

    best regards

    I upgraded to Dapper last week, and I have to say it's quite stable--particularly for KDE.

    However, since you use your computer to do work, I would strongly advise against upgrading to Dapper (at least until June).

      well, yes, of course,
      but this last month I've been feeling a ghostly inestability on breezy too, don't know if it's me, or that the new packages are getting out for dapper and don't run well on breezy,
      could be just my unconscious wanting to do the dist-upgrade, lol

        Well, go for it. I mean, the worst that could happen is that you decide it is unstable to do work--you back up your data and reinstall Breezy. A pain in the neck, but not a disastrous situation.

        I have to say, though, that I tried Dapper a couple of months ago, and it was virtually unusable. I did one update, and my internet connection was gone.

        This past week, though, has been quite pleasant with Dapper, especially in KDE.

          welllll, ok, i think i'll try it tomorrow
          the back up of my data part is something I don't fully know well enough to do,
          last time with breezy i ended up doing a fresh install

          but where's the salt of life then? lol
