Bugs in Dapper, should stick with Breezy ?

Just want to throw in my $0.02.

I have a laptop that now hibernates reliably, auto-sets my display 
resolution properly, and runs my wireless cards flawlessly without 
having to figure out the guts of my OS.  I know how to fix all of these 
things, but the main reason I know is because I tried Breezy first.

I installed Dapper for the first time at flight 3, and haven't looked 
back.  Personally, despite the bugs, and Dapper being a development 
branch, it still had less problems than running Breezy.

Just because Dapper currently has more open bugs does not mean that the 
open bugs will necessarily effect you.  Also, given the numbers that you 
quoted above, you must be talking about the bugs on the distro itself.  
Each package has a list of bugs, and the list is much more impressive if 
you look at each thing you use individually. 

Also, there are several things in Breezy that are not considered bugs 
that will keep you from using your laptop.  In particular, wireless 
networking, while it can be made to work in Breezy, has received much 
needed feature additions that make it useful in Dapper.

My advice:  Install Dapper first.  If it works, great.  If it doesn't, 
go back and install Breezy until the bugs with your uses get worked 
out.  On average, I think Dapper bugs are less fatal to laptops than the 
features that never made it into Breezy.

Good luck,
