“Not that the beta is completely lacking in new
features. It includes PolicyKit, a tool that goes beyond the
traditional GNU/Linux distinction of permissions and the root user
to fine-tune how every day accounts access hardware and
administrative services.“There are also new data engines such as the geographical
locator, and additional settings for using Nepomuk, the system for
annotating and locating information, with personal data such as
emails and address books. And, going from the earnest to the
frivolous, the beta includes a new game called Curse of the Mummy
and 70 new levels for Mahjongg.“However, many of these new features will take some time for
users to appreciate. The first enhancements that average users will
notice will probably be the customization and usability
features.”
