      • new graphical Installer with updatefeature
      • sysv-freeze - stops dist-upgrade activating installed (but non-running) services, by default. To start a service (at boot) use unfreeze-rc.d; rcconf; freeze-rc.d or unfreeze-rc.d; update-rc.d defaults; freeze-rc.d
      • ACPI and DMA are activated by default (can be deactivated by cheatcode acpi=off or nodma) , also see Bootoptions (Cheatcodes)
      • Kernel optimised for modern CPU's - i586 and x86-64

      Ah, thanks... I was rambling around the various Release Candidates, time to test that one (although to be honest I'm sold on Arch Linux). IMO Kanotix is the best desktop release for non-Linux pros... much better than Mandriva, PCLINUXOS, SuSE, Mepis, and all assorted stuff...

      Debian 64-bit is still flaky... My 32-bit copy is working great, although I did not put it somewhere (all my puters running Arch Linux, and being perfectly happy with it...).
