Sudarshan, If you ever used breezy-backports, it would serve you well to leave the lines in sources.list that refer to it. Without those lines, the backported packages will look like they are abandoned broken packages. Dapper is stable, except if the new kernel does not support some hardware you have. I have a Davicom ethernet adapter, and faced some problem with the new kernel, but i am glad to say I am the exception. Even then, I found a bug fix that involved removing a module and inserting another one. Maybe you should set apart 5-8 gigs on your drive so you can try installing two versions of Ubuntu on the same PC, to ensure everything works fine first before you upgrade.
