I suggest that the "Dapper Drake User" item that's selectable in the "Distribution" preference in the user profiles be changed to "Dapper Drake Tester". This will emphasize the fact that Dapper is in testing, and keep some users from thinking that users who select this item use Dapper as their main OS, which I've seen happening more than once.
<-------- This should be Dapper Drake Tester

+1 for this great Idea, Only bad thing is people may think its a closed test (like the windows beta tests, or the wow test before launch) not a public test where everyone can participate. But I think the pro's out way the con's because anyone that has not been around long enoughf to know that the testing is public probaly shouldent be runing dapper in the first place.

I don't think many people will think that, since it's an open choice for everyone. And even if it happens, it's worth the tradeoff.

OK I did some fiddling with it . Reselect the distro in your user profile and have a look . Let me know what you think

Alright, but why Testing / User? Maybe Tester / User is better but I'd prefer just Tester.

While we're making requests, could we make it:
Ubuntu Dapper 6.04 TESTING
Kubuntu Dapper 6.04 TESTING
This would make it look just like the other older ones, but add a TESTING to let people know :)
