Ubuntu is great and Dapper Drake makes it even better!
I upgraded to Dapper and was pleasantly surprised to find that my system is much more responsive than with Breezy. Firefox seems especially snappier. I really like the new GNOME deskbar applet too.

The only problem I have with ubuntu is old software. When I upgraded to DD a few weeks ago, I noticed that firefox was still version 1.3
That's a far sight better than 1.0 that Breezy Badger used, but it's still not the latest version with the coolest toys. Yes, I realize that it's ubuntu going through its rigorous tests and patches before it allows software to pass to the user, but I wish there was a "bleeding edge" distro out there for us hardcore geeks.
