Dapper to Edy upgrade successful

[H.S.]

I upgraded Dapper to Edgy on a Dell Inspiron 5160 laptop. It went quite 
smoothly. I just changed "dapper" with "edgy" in /etc/apt/sources.list 
file and did 'sudo apt-get update' and then 'sudo apt-get dist-upgrade'. 
It wanted to download about 800MB of data and wanted to remove some 
packages (imake, some python package, which I really didn't need, but 
some of them being replaced with newer ones). That took 2~3 hours; this 
was the day after Edgy was releazed, all the mirrors were hammered and I 
ended up using some mirror in Europe to get decent speed. After that the 
installation of the new packages and configuring went smoothly. 
Rebooting into 2.6.17 gave the new kernel.

Network-manager was running before and the wireless card was working 
pretty nicely. After the upgrade in Gnome 2.16, it was working even 
better ... well, the GUI was.

Edgy seems to boot up faster, desktop loads definitely faster. The 
laptop is a dual boot laptop, and booting in Ubuntu is a better 
experience than booting into Windows XP Professional.

Great release, this Edgy Eft.

Just wanted to share this info with others.
