11. Just installed Fiesty 20 minutes ago

and they've fixed two of my big peeves with Dapper, suspend and font rendering. No matter what I did, I just couldn't get suspension to work, which was a showstopper for me. Now it appears to behave just fine, yay (this is on a desktop, I don't know if they've gotten the kinks worked out for laptops). Similarly, with fonts, the defaults work right out of the box, I haven't seen any smears or bunched kerning yet. They've also added third party and proprietary repositories to the package manager as default. Looks like I'll be spared a lot of nitpicky tweaking this time around, very, very cool.
