Trying out Dapper Drake on the laptop

Marco recently posted about his experiences with the yet unreleased Dapper Drake 6.04 version of Ubuntu Linux. He has a fairly high opinion of it, and coming from a laptop user that means a lot, since hardware support is generally far less mature for mobile platforms in GNU/Linux systems.

I will try out the new version on my laptop before I move my home workstation over. This laptop is a Dell Inspirion 1000, which is my favorite out of the entire inspirion line. Ultra basic, and very reliable.
