It works very well, and is quite fast.
Bug: The Kazehakase browser can be installed and started, but you can't browse to any website with it (does not react)...
Bug: Needed to start twice until the installation process started correctly.
Bug: Needed to start twice after the installation process finished until it worked correctly.

It's extremely fast, compared to the last version.
And all the restricted-extras work without problems, and I no longer have to allow root login, it works out of the box.
I love it !
Note for NVIDIA and ATI users:
"envyng-gtk/qt" in Lucid Lynx is superseded by jockey.
Another bug:
Trying to compile soundkonverter via apt-get buid-dep and apt-get source doesn't work, because the two .h files below miss #include <stdio.h> .
Add #include <stdio.h> to both these files:
/usr/src/soundkonverter-0.3.11/src/metadata/audible/audibleproperties.h
/usr/src/soundkonverter-0.3.11/src/metadata/wav/wavproperties.h
Though VLC still does not work out of the box when run as root.
You need to recompile it and remove uid == 0 from VLC.c.
I just compiled vlc with this code commented out from source in bin/vlc.c file:
Remove the bellow code snippet
/*
// Remove from bin/vlc.c
if (geteuid () == 0)
{
fprintf (stderr, "VLC is not supposed to be run as root. Sorry.\n"
"If you need to use real-time priorities and/or privileged TCP ports\n"
"you can use %s-wrapper (make sure it is Set-UID root first and\n"
"cannot be run by non-trusted users first).\n", ppsz_argv[0]);
return 1;
}
*/
and it works !
And another bug:
apt-get install dpkg-dev
should be installed by default, because else it stops when doing apt-get source xy

What is jockey?
A program that downloads, installs and configures the correct NVIDIA/ATI OpenGL driver for you.
