<p>I've done the unthinkable... and installed Fedora 15 on my systems. At least, for the time being. Not sure if I will stick with it or not. The package manager seems to take forever to do things, and it has a daemon component that seems to hang up somewhat regularly. After a boot I have to kill it (and it seems to restart automatically when needed) in order to do things like install software.</p>
<p>Oh, the things I would do, if only I had the money to hire a team of five to ten people...</p>
