- PackageKit to help users update their system and add and remove software
- Syslinux, a new bootloader to replace GRUB.
- GNOME-Do: GNOME Do allows you to quickly search for many items
- present in your GNOME desktop environment (applications, Evolution contacts, Firefox bookmarks, files, artists and albums in Rhythmbox, Pidgin buddies, etc.) and perform commonly used actions on those items (Run, Open, Email, Chat, Play, etc.).
Users should also find it much easier to use binary video card drivers from Nvidia and ATI than in Foresight 1.x. Transmission is also included as the default Bittorrent application.
