What is in This Release?
-----------------------------

This release comes with the latest KDE 3.5.6 desktop.  It includes a
re-written partitioner in the desktop CD installer.  Network setup is
now easier with knetworkmanager included by default.  Our Adept
package manager includes several improvements to make it easier to
select your software sources, view changes and configure packages
graphically.  The advanced but easy to use Kexi database manager is
now included by default and for your photos we ship with the latest
Digikam 0.9.1.  Finding other computers and printers on the local
network is easier with zeroconf configured by default.  There have
also been improvements to the Guidance power manager to control your
CPU speed.
