I’ve upgraded both office and home machines to Ubuntu Dapper now. Good: GNOME 2.14 is sweet, the speed improvements are noticeable and it’s better than ever. Bad: My digital camera is not found automatically. Some sound problems.
The delay of Dapper release vs. the Windows Vista delay is nicely discussed here. It’s all about openness!
“The operating system is going to be late. Last-minute decisions mean a last-minute delay — more testing needed, says the organisation, and a bit more integration. But the reaction isn’t what you might expect: with a few minor reservations, the users and developers are positive and supportive. “It’s worth it,” they say.”
mahangu.org has some notes about Dapper, the Linux Desktop in general, and the sweetness of hardware support in Linux compared to Windows.
