Release Notes: Quite a few bugfixes in the installer and packages. The most outstanding are that fglrx no longer blocks NVIDIA/Intel 3D support, and there is no more "AMD Unsupported Hardware" overlay on ATI. 4.0 was sort of a "brown paper bag" release, while 4.0.1+ are for real.

Release Notes: This release is complementary to Server 4.0 and features a KDE-based desktop with primarily Russian and Ukrainian localizations, with English, Byelarussian, Tatar, and Kazakh specifically supported as well. It includes updated video drivers and multimedia codecs, which can be distributed according to copyright and license without supporting software patents.
