Yes, give it a try ! ;-)
I must say I really love it. I find it a great alround improvement over
Breezy, so much so that I prefer to live with all its bugs rather than
using Breezy until the official release of Dapper.
I love it so much that despite a severe hardware regression (SCSI CD
writer stopped working, can't use your CD's anymore ! ), which I doubt
will be fixed in time, if ever, I am already sure that I will adopt
Dapper when it's finally released.
It's very good, yet there is still a full two months before the release,
so plenty of time to debug it and polish it. I think Dapper will be a
memorable/key release in the Ubuntu life !! :-)

That said, I am already looking forward to Dapper+1, with that new,
modern, OpenGL accelerated X server ! I don't need the eye candy (though
would be fun to try it out a little !), but I could really do with
better 2D performance !  At present it looks so cheap, those Novell
videos have me salivating ! ;-)
