So are you really dissapointed by dapper?

The patent on MP3's runs out in the US in a few years anyway IIRC so very soon MP3 will be open. Anyway the patent holder says they are happy with FLOSS use anyway so its not a huge problem.

Ach, it's produces rubbish audio quality anyway. Just use Vorbis, as it is a lot better (Only applies to new tracks though).

A bit, but I really really like it.

It is a major step forward. It is a larger step than the ones from warty to hoarty to breezy.

We acutally have a brown color scheme with some life in it, it is nice.

It's really starting to look polished.

but, it isnt what I expected. it is certainly the best linux distro I have ever used, and the only one running on the PCs in my home.

I always figured that in order to be a vista alternative (which was its original plan) it would need to have strong wireless options that just work. Looking at the edgy plans thus far, it looks like we still wont have them then. Wireless headaches have been my biggest issue with ubuntu since warty.

Well, I must say, I truly love ubuntu. Dapper seems great, the only pain in the *** here is I have the keyboard issue from Acer laptops (due to smart battery support). Repeating or skipping letters is really annoying, certainly when I'm programming. So what did I do, I tried something else, FC5. I must say FC5 is a great and complete distro, but no battery support for my acer, which I did have in Dapper (but have to turn off because of the keyboard). Now that my exams are finished, I went back to Dapper. I couldn't stand the loooooooooooooong waiting with Yum. Just love the apt-getting stuff. So easy. So guys, keep up the good work, hope you'll fix the keyboard issues soon...

Overall, GREAT distro !
