Ya of-course,
but I dont like the boot theme.

It is having latest version of KDE 4.1.2
I dont liked the default classic menu style so switched to Kickoff menu style

Two configuration tools, Configure Your Computer and Configure Your Desktop, both are great.
K menu is too smooth and the leave section is very well furnished.

Seen some minor changes of element positions
like in K menu favorites are in first position and applications in second which were second and last previously. Similarly in control center positions of various elements are made very convenient.
A better login screen which now allows to select your login name. i.e. type less
Keep your cursor over trash bin to see a sizzling effect.

On top right corner there is a widget manager. I think no superkaramba needed now.
On bottom right corner another manger.

What can I say just imagine
I am unable to leave my system event in my final exams.

This is too great. Highly improved really.
Hardware support significantly improved, on my system I can simply feel if

I would say if you want something truly amazing than you had batter switch to Mandriva 2009.

hmmm...
I think I deleted some widgets from system tray
Wonder how can I get them back as they are not in the widget list.

Edit:
KDE 4 really hurts me, I am so much comfortable with KDE 3.5

1. I cannot create a file/folder on desktop.
2. I cannot refresh desktop (although it is not needed at all)
3. I cannot find control center (umm, I want to change the login screen)
4. I think it wants or rather forces me to use konsole again...

And a major bug...
While using Gtalk from inside gmail when I press enter it changes the line instead of sending the message.
This is so worse that it can even stop me from switching.

10 Things to Consider When Choosing a Linux Distribution
I can’t begin to tell you how many people over the years I have consulted with about choosing a Linux distribution. And even with my own personal loyalties to one distribution or another, it always amazes me how certain distributions are better suited to various users and needs. So when I set out to write a 10 Things article, it only made sense that my first one be related to choosing a Linux distribution.

Interview: How a hacker became a freedom fighter
One of the founding fathers of "free software" and an esteemed elder of the hacking community, Richard Stallman has made defending people's freedoms his life's work. That usually means supplying hackers with software and attacking copyright law. But as he tells Michael Reilly, his advocacy of personal freedoms extends to the protection of true democracy and of the human rights increasingly being trampled on in the US and elsewhere.
