Proposed topic for next week's Edubuntu meeting: status of dist-upgrade to Dapper

[jelkner at divmod.com]

Hi Oli,

At one point you had told me that chroot wouldn't work.  I've been using Dapper on my home desktop machine for a month already, and I'm finding it to be totally usable.

So what I'm asking is if it is reasonably safe to take the Edubuntu lab in school (after having all the students backup their data, of course ;-) and to dist-upgrade to Dapper?  If that results in a working lab afterwards, I'll be able to test Edubuntu Dapper with real students in a working environment.

Thanks!

jeff
