There are at least four things which I noticed:

1) grub is now the default bootloader (lilo is available)
2) ext3 partitions (ext2 plus journalling) can be created, and ext2 partitions can be converted to ext3 (no backup/reformat/restore required)
3) the 2.4.9-0.5 kernel (a rawhide update - it appeared after "Roswell - Second Edition") knows how to talk to the Sis 735 IDE controller (hdparm -t shows about 33 megs/second)
4) Apparently python 2.2 will be the standard version (invoked with "python", rather than "python2")
