Just a word to all who are dealing with Fedora 12 Beta RC Release. I
made a DVD and installed it on my Dell Inspiron E1705 which was already
loaded with Fedora 11. The transition was easy. I am running it with
minor problems. These problems are expected. Other than those expected
problems, I believe there is a excellent product or OS on the way.
