Hi Gordon,

Suggest you read http://fedora.redhat.com to see who Fedora is meant
for and why.   This is a major upgrade and the few deficiencies that
people are crying most loudly about weren't solved because we as a 
community didn't help solve them in time.   Complaining about them
now isn't going to help,  becoming a helpful tester would.    On the two 
machines I tested I had and have no serious problems.   We need even 
more testers to help out, especially when making such big changes.

People said same thing about MS service packs for years and wouldn't
touch them for months after they were released to see what the 
fallout was.    Our project can only work if people will test and help solve
problems that the main developers can't duplicate on their own machines.

Cheers,
Sean
