[Ubuntu-be] Why burn Ubuntu Dapper-CD's when Edgy is stable enough?

[Adriaan Leijnse]

Edgy isn't all that stable, and it's not as finished as dapper imo...
Little bugs can have big implications on the impression users get, so
I'd rather give dapper cds to the people new to linux and edgy cds to
the people who did use linux distros in the past.
