aha 8.04 works for me.. the cd arrived yesterday.. lol but i long installed it even b4 that...

anyway the most significant change i found is better driver support,
eg in my case it recognized my USB Wifi Dongle without any third party installs (a standard Broadcom chipset, previously required to manually compile the driver from source)

PS: I'm using and old gc ATi9200SE no probs there
