I've installed the f11 beta (kde version) from cd on to a T40 laptop (old Pentium M at 1.5Ghz)... 512 Megs RAM I have had extreme delays (like 3+ hours to install), and even 30+ minutes to boot from CD on this system... not sure if it was a CD/DVD driver issue or what... In any case, the install worked after much patience, then I did update the system with yum... in both cases, before and after the update, I'm getting consistent kernel panics, which I have sent back for analysis. Also, I'm getting some weird graphics 'melt downs' over time, what happens is 'fuzzy' / 'dirty' graphics are progressively happening mostly on window borders/title areas, and it seems to get worse over time. If you would like a screenshot, I could provide one... but basically, imagine a non-linear type corruption which would turn an otherwise monochromatic background section of a title bar into a dual or tri-colored pattern... I have run low level diagnostics on this system, and a full memory test which shows no errors. <hr />Messenger has tons of new features that make chatting more fun. <a href='http://go.microsoft.com/?linkid=9650730' target='_new'>Click here to learn more.</a></body> </html>
