Ubuntu Dapper Drake will be released tonight, at midnight that is.

Ubuntu’s latest release will be available for download this evening at or around 12:00 AM. Normally, I would go through the upgrade process, but this time, I would feel better installing it fresh to ensure I’ve done everything correctly. In the past, the upgrades have been a simple 3-4 step process that takes all of an hour (including download time), but I’ve always been left wondering, are some of the issues I have had due to me screwing an upgrade up? Perhaps even an old screw up has now made its presence known. Either way, I’ll be doing a fresh install. The machine, I’m currently using for Ubuntu is an old Pentium 4 1.8GHz HP Pavilion with 1GB RAM and two 40GB hard drives.
I upgraded to Dapper and was pleasantly surprised to find that my system is much more responsive than with Breezy. Firefox seems especially snappier. I really like the new GNOME deskbar applet too.
