They've been saying it's a much more polished version, even suitable for corporate adoption. The Long Term Support (LTS) is a step in the right direction but I'm waiting until my download and install are done to see what it's really like.

Check it out here.

I've messed with a bunch of different script packages and approaches to having a laptop running Linux and carrying it around to multiple LANs.

I saw this on the Debian Administration website today though as I flew by it.
