Well Rob, I had similar experiences. The biggest surprise was a completely missing Kmail. And - of course - the new install whacked my Open Office 1.1.0 (installed in /opt) and replaced it with RC4. Same thing with Mozilla 1.5 - it gave me 1.4, but I can live with that. Luckily I'm on broadband, so urpmi'ing everything is a breeze. for example the default install didn't give me Gimp, Aumix, Alsaplayer and a few other apps. Maybe i was to lazy to go through the detailed package list ? Nevertheless, after about one day of tweeking my system seems to run fine - well, almost.
