The key features include:

* Faster bootup

*support for ext4 filesystem

*Inclusion of NVidia and ATI drivers.

* Minimal graphical requirement is 256Mb RAM.

* Default desktop environment GNOME, but KDE 4.2 also bundled.

* Though Ubuntu 9.10 will be coming with GRUB v2 but fedora still going with older one...probably stability factor.

* It can take up upto 9 GB space, so better give it good share of HDD space.

While pursuing my PHP tutorial , i came across this very unusual example in the book PHP-MySQL bible. It actually creates a form questionnaire for calculating if you are a GEEK or not and indeed, the questions are bone-crackling good...

See for urself
