I've been using Gutsy on a few laptops and a desktop for a few months now. Personally I'm finding certain specific features making me happy. Here's my top 3. * Tomboy sync. I use Tomboy Notes to note my to-do list, ideas, documentation, personal notes and kids christmas lists :) I have more than one computer, and previously Tomboy was out of sync on each machine. The version of Tomboy with Gutsy has a few sync options and whilst they aren't trivial to setup (ssh sync requires ssh keys to be setup between machines and the 'server' where the store is [not a problem for me, I already use this, but could be an issue for new users]) it's awesome. Means I can sit down at any machine and know my notes are up to date. * Better battery life. I am noticing battery life on my laptop is much improved. Part of this is down to the excellent tool "Powertop" from intel which you can install from the repository. It indicates which programs are causing the CPU to "wake up" frequently, and also offers suggestions for improving battery life. Really good stuff. * Encrypted filesystems during install. I love this idea. Using the alternate CD (not the live one) it's possible to install Gutsy into an encrypted volume on disk which is accessed using a passphrase entered at bootup. Love it. I will be re-installing my laptop to take advantage of this feature! Cheers, Al.
