· New visual look by Lasse Sætre and Mark Basset
· Awesome Linux kernel (2.6.30) optimized for netbooks with faster startup built by Martin Bammer

· Many bug fixes
· Upgraded software (Picasa, OpenOffice 3.1 etc.)
· Built off Ubuntu 9.04
· Smaller harddrive footprint
· Uses the new ext4 filesystem as default
· UXA by default - the first distro to deliver real composite desktop which means it’s possible to run 3D in 3D (ie. the netbook interface and desktop effects)
· Banshee as default music player instead of Songbird
· Lots of clever solutions when it comes to upgrades through repositories. Ubuntu security upgrades are available to easypeasy users as fast as they’re released, while easypeasy isn’t overwritten by Ubuntu.

· Set ext4 as default: New file system which brings faster booting, loading and work flow

· New icon theme, a modified version of Victor Castillejos Gnome Colors, by lassegs
· New wallpaper which is part of the new visual profile (i.e. on Twitter), also by lassegs
