Drupal 6.0 was released last week, and its developers claim that this is the easiest version of Drupal ever.

After one year of development we are ready to release Drupal 6.0 to the world. Thanks to the tireless work of the Drupal community, over 1,600 issues have been resolved during the Drupal 6.0 release cycle. These changes are evident in Drupal 6’s major usability improvements, security and maintainability advancements, friendlier installer, and expanded development framework.

Greg Knaddison (greggles) has written and recorded a screencast, which provides a 29 minute overview of the new features that Drupal 6 offers. Screencast What’s New in Drupal 6 is avaiable here.
