I agree, for most users. But then again MOST users should not be running Jaunty. They should be running either Hardy or at most Intrepid. WHAT, you say, but Jaunty is the latest and best and released! So what? We users ARE the testers, and until a number of months of defect fixing follow release, the average user should be staying far from the leading edge. At present, with a 6 months release cycle, users should probably be considering moving to a release around the time its successor is released. Or staying with an LTS, and upgrading when the successor's .1 comes out.

Personally, I try to use the latest code as much as possible, since we ARE the testers, but I also have 4 different releases installed at all times. So I have options when something is broken.

If you are going to attempt to stay on the edge, you are just plain foolish if you are not using a multi-boot environment.
