Yeah, I went up from RH9 (shrike) about 4 years ago. Fedora... to call a
spade a spade, fedora is bleeding edge, not leading edge. 14 beta *seems*
to be working ok on the one box I've put it on, but I *HATED* FC13 - same
workstation, all kindsa problems. And it crashed with kernel panics
several times in the 3-4 months it was on it.
