Yup, Dapper. it's not like Edgy actually has things you don't get on
Dapper. Firefox 2.0 most notably was an easy install.
As for anything else.. I don't think anyone could name even one thing
that would increase anyone's productivity.
So.. my thoughts now are to completely skip Edgy. I did install it on
an old PC just to see how bad it was, (and it wasn't actually that bad
aside from the traditional xserver-xorg display lottery). Noted
F-Spot.. I dislike applications that try to index my life for me. I
disliked it with music (a la itunes and rythmbox) and I equally dislike
it with Picasa and now F-Spot. g-Thumb really is a beauty.
Still, going through OS-transition uncertainty every 6 months is just
nuts unless you actually crave that. (People for sure crave weirder
things than that so I'm not being rhetorical here)
Cheers,
Chanchao
