Fedora can be a bit sketchy, and a bit bloated.. It is Red Hat’s proving ground for future releases of RHEL..
I know. We use RHEL at times in my job, so I like to use Fedora to become familiar with what RH is doing with their product.
This new filesystem setup they are trying out is not working well with my laptop at this time. Perhaps 12 will be better. Perhaps not.
My kids' desktop is currently running Ubuntu, and the newer releases seem to be just fine.
I'm really looking forward to installing and checking out 2.6.30 with all the goodies they've included.
