My feeling is that F12 is likely to be a nice release, but F11 is likely
to need to grow. I have had a lot of frustrating issues come up during rawhide
and while things are mostly in a reasonable state now, I expect people to
be finding some rough spots yet. In particular video / X stuff has been in
a lot of flux. I expect that between now and the F12 release things will
improve a lot, especially for systems using Intel and ATI video hardware.

I'd like to be able to recommend using Fedora + RPMFusion + Livna to my
neighbor, but I suggested Ubuntu (which he likes) a few weeks ago, because I
thought it would be better (less likely to be frustrating) for a new linux
user. This is someone who I think might want to be a participant, not just
end user.
