Too easy...

Transparent windowing... (been around bit longer than 5.10 but still in context of your question!)
True multi-user capability...
Multiple desktops... not a sad attempt either!


From the Ubuntu web site:
* Thin Client Integration: Ubuntu is the first distribution in the world to include deeply-integrated thin client technology. This allows you to deploy Ubuntu in large scale networked environments or, for example, in classrooms, with a lightweight Ubuntu image booting over the network. All Ubuntu management tools work for the thin client image as well as for the server.
I am not sure about this chances are a no go... * OEM Installer Support This release of Ubuntu has special support for OEM hardware vendors. Ubuntu can be pre-installed and tested without configuring end user information. The user will be asked to complete that configuration (name, timezone and password) upon first startup.
* Launchpad Integration Launchpad.net is the new infrastructure that Ubuntu and its derivatives use for translation, bug tracking, sharing code patches, fixes and technical support. Users of Ubuntu 5.10 can make technical support requests for any package in Ubuntu, and can help to translate their software, directly from the built-in Help menu in every desktop application.

# PHP5

# Built-in thin client functionality produced in cooperation with the LTSP project
# Simple NFS root setup with automatic hardware detection through initramfs-tools

Further enhancements to laptop support (hot keys, and working suspend/resume on more models)
HP all-in-one printer/scanner devices are supported out of the box
Bluetooth input devices (such as keyboards and mice) are supported out of the box
Multiple audio devices are handled more gracefully (and one can easily select the default device)
64-bit PowerPC kernel available
# Automatically makes existing hard drive partitions available to the desktop

# Simple "dual boot" configuration with automatic resizing of an existing installed OS
GCC 4.0.1
glibc 2.3.5
New early userspace infrastructure based on initramfs-tools
More modular X.org packaging
Python 2.4.2
As always, Ubuntu includes the very best of the 100% free/libre application software world, and each new release incorporates countless new features and bugfixes from the global development community.


Well? You asked.
