"While still far from perfect, Ubuntu 6.10 'Edgy Eft' is both an improvement over the so-called 'long-term support' release and a decent operating system in its own right. It's in a much better place than any other free-of-charge operating system has been before now, but I don't think it'll give any commercial operating systems a run for their money."

I was very happy with Dapper Drake on my x86-64. The thing was rock solid, no issues. I installed Edgy (from wiped the existing install), and have had nothing but trouble ever since. X server won't start half the time. Firefox (of all programs) crashes all the time. I'm not happy with it at all. Maybe I'll try a re-install....
Edgy was clearly labeled experimental release. The stable one is Dapper.
Anyway, do you use hibernate in Edgy ?
I've realised that when using hibernate, it destroys sth in the swap, which makes Ubuntu unable to recognise the partition as swap, so you run without any swap.
Which makes the OS unusable as soon as you hit all the memory available.
I have to make a mkswap and revert back to /dev/hdxx in /etc/fstab, instead of recognition by UUID.
