[edit] New in easypeasy 1.5
- 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
- Support for more netbooks
- Hybrid image (both .img and .iso at the same time) by Phil Howard
- This makes it possible to move the image to the usb stick with unetbootin or dd etc. Which means it's now possible to intall from a Mac
- Many bug fixes [1]
- 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
