F16 - a good experience
 

I know that recently some folk have posted of bad experiences with f16
- however I am running f16 on 6 machines (4 laptops and 2 desktops)
with 4 x86_64 and 2 i686 - and all are now stable, and running with a
responsive and crisp xfce desktop. I can do everything that I need to
do, and one of the machines is a server and has performed flawlessly
since its install about a month ago.

Yes it does need some love and attention to get things configured and
set up working as desired (and some lookups and learning) - but I am
really pretty happy overall with f16 now - so this is general thank
you to all developers and testers in getting f16 to a good working
state - of course there are some residual bugs which need squashing
(Name "any" system has zero bugs after all!).

Have a great New Year all.

I love F16, it is the most stable and enjoyable release I have run to date, and I have been running since F8.

F16 - a good experience
 

Installation was fine, also extra installed packages via rpmfusion OK. However 2 remarks.- upgrade from F14 to F16 seems to work but is not perfekt in cleaning up old packages (I think this is not an intended upgrade path, but anyway)
- selecting of test-updates is not flawless, there are some package dependency issues I think, e.g. in gcc and perl-ExtsUtils-MakeMaker, so i suggest don't use

You created. The major bad experiences that were reported were Gnome
3.2 :-)

Ditto here except I run GNOME3. Got F16 x86_64 on a workstation and
laptop. Must admit that I am still struggling with GNOME3. Luckily the
frippery extensions and some other good stuff on extensions.gnome.org
allow me to mimick GNOME2 pretty well.



Have a great New Year all.


Have a great New Year too.
