I tried out the daily snapshot yesterday and it is AMAZING. The installer
failed a couple of times I think because some mirrors were missing stuff
for LXDE so I just did the default and it finished in 10 minutes.

Jessie is really nice. Everything on the Asus netbook worked perfectly,
wireless, touchpad, and so on. Very very slick release. I can't even
imagine what the advantage there is in choosing Ubuntu anymore.
