Yang Baru di Debian 5.0 'Lenny':

• Linux 2.6.26 (see KernelFAQ#new-features-in-lenny);
• lspci (pciutils 3.0.0) has a -Q option to query the central database.
• mount : read-only binds ; –make-shared, –make-slave, –make-private, –make-unbindable
• KVM (kernel + qemu-kvm…)
• ntfs-3g (i.e R-W support)
• gnome expects ntfs-3g to mount volumes, which isn’t installed by default so it fails. Is there a regression here ? (needs testing).
• List of Discontinued/Renamed modules.
• Most legacy CD (pre IDE!): aztcd, gscd isp16, mcdx optcd sjcd sonycd535 (Old CD-ROM drivers not SCSI, not IDE)

• No support for Linux 2.4

• GNOME 2.22 ( 2.22 release notes http://library.gnome.org/misc/release-notes/2.22)
• many applications now use the new gio library instead of gnome-vfs, leading to important performance improvements
• A handful of packages (namely nautilus, gnome-panel and libgnome) will be shipped in their 2.20 version, as we felt gvfs was not stable and featured enough for a stable Debian release. We include our patched, rock-solid version of gnome-vfs instead, even though it means less performance.
• Experimental webkit support (epiphany-webkit)
• gnome-keyring is generalized (including SSH keys support and pam_gnome_keyring)
• system-config-printer replaces gnome- CUPS-manager
• mlocate replace locate, content is now indexed.

• Improved CD/DVD ISO support (Archive Manager can open an ISO ; nautilus-cd-burner can burn it.)
• new apps : cheese, vinagre, sabayon
• Improved application Evolution, evince, totem (automatic download codecs), gedit (syntax-highlighting), screen-saver (Leave Message feature), Network-manager and power-manager.

• X.org 7.3 http://www.x.org/wiki/Releases/7.3
• Xserver autoconfiguration (most of older xorg.conf becomes unnecessary)

• ATI R5xx and R6xx modesetting and 2D acceleration support

• Besides the regular Debian security support for the full archive, Lenny introduces pro-active security features to preemptively reduce the chance on vulnerabilities:
