Yes of course.
I did a distupgrade from earlier 5.10 version. It has now caused problem with my internet connection and soundcard. I need to explore more for changes but the first look was really good.

I think you have misunderstood since they started taking orders for shipping Dapper Drake long time back. But, it was released on 1st June. They shipped the cd's too around that date. Or maybe you were thinking of beta releases as final releases.
