2.6.8.1, with the option of installing 2.4 (but we really only included that
for specific server tasks if required).

ext3, but you can also choose ext2, reiserfs, xfs and jfs. We recommend ext3
as the most stable filesystem available.

It's based on Debian, so all the familiar tools such as apt-get, aptitude
and synaptic are available. LSB style RPMs are supported with alien.

First distro to ship GNOME 2.8, excellent X autodetection, great laptop and
other hardware support, six-month time based releases, etc. :-)
