Downloaded it this morning (by torrent). Tried a live boot, came up OK,
but on the surface didn't look much different. I was expecting more
noticeable GUI polishing, but nothing really popped out at me.

Most notable disappointment is there doesn't seem to be any change to
how bluetooth functions, still no easy graphical built in way to pair
and enable a headset (at least I couldn't find it), a shame.

There's been so much movement on every other technology "just working"
under Linux, but bluetooth seems to be left behind somehow?
