Dapper Drake

Since I am a freak and super L33T I run Linux on my laptop. I upgraded to ubuntu dapper-drake last night, things are working pretty well. Pretty much everything is working after about 3 hours of messing with it. On the annoying side though, nautilus (the file manager) seems a little bit unstable. I was trying to copy 200+ files onto a remote server, and the copy process kept hanging. Frustrating and a little unsettling, as it ended up deleting files before copying the new version of the file. I don't have my alps touchpad working as well as it was in breezy (the stable version), but I know there are some forum articles on that. In addition nothing displays when I boot up after grub until x11 starts up. Hopefully these sorts of thing will get fixed if I nuke some configuration or in a later upgrade. On the positive side the network-manager is awesome, just as good (maybe even easier to use) than windows wireless. Also things are noticably faster, boot time is probably cut in half. And there is plenty of nice little tweaks to the gnome text editor. Really haven't discovered all the little tweaks that make it better, and I am sure things will get better as things stabilize.
