IMHO, Dapper is still the best Ubuntu release. Edgy was using very very new
technology which have not got alot of testing on it's time, (i.e. Avahi,
upstart), and Dapper's artwork was waaaay better than Edgy's, IMHO. Same
with Hoary compared to Breezy, most people will still prefer Hoary. I heard
Feisty+1 would be LTS, I'm looking forward to participate full-time in this
release.
