Edgy's been out since October last year. Synaptic won't tell you that you need it because Dapper's been designated the LTS release (Long Term Support), and there's no point doing that if it's just going to update itself at the first opportunity.
I deployed seven machines at work with Dapper because it's a commerical environment, but I use Edgy myself without (too many) problems. Within the parameters of a personal computer, it's been operating "within acceptable parameters", though I'd have been annoyed if I'd been using it in a business situation and some of the things that have happened, had happened.
