Yup, it pretty much rocks. Compiz Fusion operates really nicely when embedded into Gnome, so you don't have to worry about installing tons of package files to get the awesome eye candy.
This video shows far from all the features, although in my experience it is showing the most useful features. Besides that it's really really nice that NTFS is supported, because it makes a dual boot just that much easier. Gnome 2.20 is nice too, it was a number of good UI changes. In particular I like the centralized theming center.

NTFS support would be nice; NTFS-3G doesn't seem to handle the version Vista uses, though.
Don't even get me started on Compiz. It's GNOME-dependent garbage that doesn't even work right on my computer. I want beryl back.
The idea of a central theme center does sound nice. I thought 2.18 already had one...
How's GTK+ 2.12? It has some awesome new stuff.
Dude, awesome.
Do you know of a way to use linux with the EPGY courseware? I tried using wine with the courseware on my old laptop with fedora, but alas, I couldn't get it to work..
Val,
Actually I have, using WINE. It was a little suspect, and I don't think I was able to watch lectures. I'm also not sure if you would be able to use the derivation system, but it did work. I was on Feisty Fawn when I tried.
Hm, yeah I guess in that sense I got it working, but it froze and crashed when I would log in. Suppose I might be able to try again some other time. =)
