Nice descriptions, Dan. Thanks for including me in the conversation, guys. It's a treat. Inertial Scrolling is the one feature of those mentioned that I remember enjoying in Fedora 15, just before I deleted that installation to make room for elementary. I'm embarrassed to admit that it's quite possible that I simply imagined the whole thing! But, I'm almost positive that Fedora 15 was the first distro (outside of iOS) that allowed me to enjoy Inertial Scrolling on a non-Apple laptop.
Thanks for looking into it, gang. Loving Jupiter, and excited for Luna.
