I also vote for the upgrade to Dapper. As others have said, Dapper is the LTS version of *buntu, so it should get the stability and functionality updates that would come from upgrading to a final version of a piece of software (
e.g. Xfce4.4 Final compared to the Xfce4.4-Beta1 version that was on the initial release of Dapper). Also, are most Edgy users going to notice the difference between Xfce4.4-RC1 and the final release? Probably not. Besides, any Edgy user who wants
Xfce4.4-Final could compile it themselves or just wait 6 months for Feisty Fawn (which should probably include an even more-recent release of Xfce . . . ). <br><br><div><span class="gmail_quote">On 11/1/06, <b class="gmail_sendername">
