The Digg guys are big Debian fans ;) Hosting providers need to pull their collective heads out of the sand and start selling Debian over RedHat.

Sometimes it takes a while to load the front page when I haven't been there for a while, but that's because they're 10 MB of javascript isn't in my cache anymore. It's just like when you follow a link to a flickr.com picture and haven't been there for a while, it takes a long time to load. Annoying but not that much.

Overall, the upgrade is great. I hope the upgrade will curtail some of the ongoing abuse by community members -- digg's technology and its people are wonderful, but its users can wreck complete hell on the community.

They're still working out the kinks I'm sure. I'm pretty much with Michael on the slow to love process. At first I was like, uhm, what happened but now that I got used to it, I honestly like the changes and can see where they're going with it. Although, as a designer, they really have to change that top green color. Not really a functional issue, it just doesn't go well with the overall palette for some reason. Give ‘em a break.
