I can't point to any specific feature but it always seems like hardware detection and administration gets a little easier. There are always bugs and feature changes that you would like to regress to a prior version. ^-M-Backspace being one change in the Xorg config that I will re-enable. If you wait a year to upgrade you will forget all those tweaks you made the last time. I always reserve a partition or partitions that I rotate between successive releases. If you don't want to boot into the latest by default don't install grub during the install process as you can always install it later. Just edit the existing grub to point to the new distro. Jim KR
