  • GNOME 2.20

  • Desktop 3D effects

  • Desktop search

  • Fast user switching

  • Firefox plugins in Ubuntu

  • Dynamic screen configuration

  • Graphical configuration tool for X

  • Fully automatic printer installation

Anyway, I have this version running as a guest OS on vmware fusion on my Mac and I must say that it rocks! It runs uberfast to a point that you may think that it is not running as a guest OS! Try it out and see.
