There are a lot of new changes under the hood. Most notable are:
- Installation is a breeze.
- Wubi: one-click installer for Windows.
- Xorg 7.3 with better defaults and auto-configuration of external screens.
- Mozilla Firefox 3 Beta 5 in preparation for the official release of Firefox 3 in June.
- PulseAudio: new audio driver.
- Brasero: a new CD/DVD burning utility.
- Transmission: the new default BitTorrent client.
- New theme.
- Compiz: Enabled by default for eye-candy.
- Vinagre: New VNC client. Also uses Avahi to discover VNC enabled clients on the network.
- PolicyKit: enhanced security.
I am currently in the process of migrating /home to its own partition so that I can go ahead and upgrade to Hardy Heron as soon as possible.
I’ve already got /home on a partition. Good thing, too.. I went overboard – I upgraded to Kubuntu Heron, then to the KDE4 flavour. Somewhere along the way, I messed it all up!
