Got it installed and testing. Not a BAD OS, but still suffers from metapackage bloat. You can't just install, say, KSCD...wihtout also getting Juk (which I prefer amarok) and a bunch of other programs. And many packages are set this way, that you can't install the individuals they come grouped.
So still not the biggest fan of Fedora. It's tolerable, but definitely on a second tier after Debian, Ubuntu, Mandriva, Arch, and the others that let you install individual packages instead of forcing metapackages as the ONLY option.

| With further usage, you can definitely tell it's a new release. Firefox crashes left and right on me, makes me think I'm running windows.
