dapper came out six months ago. they are on a six month release schedule.

I am running edgy right now and it seems stable. much faster than dapper. I recommend it.

I'm sure I'll upgrade, but I'm happy with Dapper right now.. it supported my wireless card with no problems! More than I can say than for any other distro I've tried...

I always do clean installs. I keep all my media and files on an external harddrive, so it's easy to start from scratch.

maybe the image had an error on it. I remember the first time I tried to install arch linux, the image I dl'ed and burned was messed up. I dl'ed from a different server and burned at a slower speed and it worked.

I really liked dapper, but edgy has a very solid and speedy feel to it.

ok, so edgy is working beautifully on my computer, but it is a developmental release hence the name. and dapper is the solid release hence the LTS on the end of its name (lts = long term support). I guess the ubuntu schedule is every fourth release is the solid one and the others are developmental to test out new technology (edgy seems to be testing various speed-up tweaks and compiz support - the only difficulty I had was install my ATI fglrx driver which needed a quick modification of xorg.conf unlike other releases). I like edgy but be warned that it could be buggy for you.
