I tried updating to Dapper today. It did not go so well.
You know how I keep talking about my computer overheating? Well, the problem is avoidable in Windows. In Kubuntu, my computer overheats within minutes. So I still tried upgrading, but unfortunately, it overheated. I tried it from just the command line, but it still overheated—in the middle of depackaging the files I finally managed to download.
Now I have segmentation fault errors when I try to boot into Kubuntu. :/ So I think I’ll just wait for the Dapper CDs that I ordered and do a clean install…I don’t have anything important on there anyway, so I might as well start fresh.

I use Kubuntu, because I like KDE. But it doesn’t matter, since you can switch pretty easily later by just installing or uninstalling the right packages.
I just upgraded to Dapper 15 minutes ago (was using Ubuntu). I had some networking and some other problems so I simply reinstalled and works fine now!
Sorry to hear about that, Tachyon 
You can still get into Windows though, right (I assume you dual-boot it, at least it sounds like that)? If so, at least you still have a computer, albeit not with the OS you prefer to use :P
