New features, that I like:

  • Repositories are very easy to add
  • Hardware detection is great
  • Improved Gui, nice desktop effects
  • Support for WEP, WPA, PPTP, etc. out of the box
  • …

I just installed the system and it was never easier to set up wireless lan or a vpn connection in a linux distribution… Keep up the good work!
