Well, it's here and it went in quite smoothly.
The antialised fonts look great during installation and use, especially as it insisted on going 1600x1200 (need a microscope handy).
Mozilla (1.2) didn't load the mail module which is the main reason for using it for me. After I added that it was fine.
I tried Evolution (actually it puts it in anyway) but I still can't use Evo if it doesn't want to connect to our Corporate LDAP server for mail addresses. It still doesn't want to play so it's out. Mozilla talks to LDAP fine so it's in.
Very much like the new NIS client setup module. It (intelligently) allows a NIS client to be set to broadcast WITHOUT having to set any NIS server IP addresses. I'd like to see the default for login manager NOT automatically add all the known users into the login screen. In a NIS environment this really slows the machine down and it's only eye-candy.
DHCP client still returns "failed" even though it grabbed a lease and our dynamic DNS allocated it a record.
I experienced this myself. Is there a fix for this?
Xinetd is installed by default (took that out) instead of inetd (put that back in). Same for Grub and Lilo.
A default installation plus "all of KDE" took up 2.3GB. Lots to play with there ....
Oh, and as someone mentioned xmms earlier - it's there and working.
Verdict after 3 hours usage: A polished distribution which will go even further to move previously unconvined M$ users onto the main alternative.

Fully agree. As posted before, ACPI had to be turned off for all the hardware to be recognised correctly.
