You have the choice of the LXDE, KDE, or Gnome 3 desktop. This new release also incorporates a "budget fair queueing" (BFQ) storage I/O scheduler kernel patch, Xorg 7.7 with core server 1.17.3, the Areca Backup tool, 3D design and printing tools, a number of new packages, and updates to standard software.
