[ale] Fedora 15

[Jim Kinney]

Hardware accel is checked for capabilities to run gnome 3 toys. So far, no
virtual system can really pass muster on that. :(  I have a Radeon HD 3100
laptop (Toshiba Satellite) that is pretty happy with this.

Use the netinstall or DVD iso to install to a vm. the live CD, due to space
considerations, is limited in the hardware it can work on for the install.

As long as the general population is passive, apathetic, diverted to
consumerism or hatred of the vulnerable, then the powerful can do as they
please, and those who survive will be left to contemplate the outcome.
