Been running it since it was released, on a Debian unstable box.  No 
problems apart from converting /etc/modules.conf to /etc/modprobe.conf.

Can't say I've noticed a huge speed increase for general desktop use, 
but my machine boots a few seconds faster and CD/DVD writing seems to 
work much better with no system load apparent even at very high speeds.  
You don't need to use ide-scsi emulation any more and can write straight 
to devices e.g. /dev/hdb
