Fedora 11 is obviously the best distro i've ever tried, though some modification needed for my wireless setup. the automatic downloading features is what i like most. playing CD and DVD (movie and audio) is effortless.

try fedora and you'll feel the different. However, each individual has its own preferences, but hey...just give it a try...you'll love it.

Fedora 11 is obviously not final yet. The Installer encountered a hard disk partition error which I could not bypass. I switched back to Fedora 10 and it worked. My advice for Fedora 11: Wait.

What you need to know about Fedora/other linux distributions:
Fedora 11 will come with “automatic installation of multimedia codecs” according to the Alpha release. Being able to install this from repositories makes fedora my favorite distribution and I can finally recommend it to new linux users. I probably tried more than 30 different and most popular operating systems including windows {3.1 to vista, mac, ubuntu, opensuse, fedora, debian, opensolaris …)
pros: best looking os, powerful and allows you to customize, updated every six months to most current technologies, now allows multimedia istallation
Cons: sometimes introduces kernels that are not ready (not as stable as debian,centos or even ubuntu)

I like Ubuntu better because it has better "package".
I hope it came with out of the box applications including multimedia support.
After installing fedora, I had to fix my wifi, sound support... thanks to ubuntu forum support.
when everything is ready, fedora rocks!!!

Fedora 9 is the best Linux distro available. It has many features and many packages. However, sometimes one requires some tinkering to use it perfectly, but it is excellent for both new Linux users as well as experienced users.

Why so many CDRWs to take care of a 1 CDRW
problem?......the install on my i386/i586/3.6GHZ
Intel/cpu/Pentium4/socket775 on ABIT mobo was going so well?!.....
why can't Fedora make a KDE or XFCE version that fits one 1 CDRW.....that's say.....512MB/iso.....that size downloads quickly on Verizon/Indiana/DSL/ISP/internet service.....hey
Fedora........KISS.....Keep It Simple Stupid......if install only required 1 CDRW....install would
have worked nearly perfect.

I have fedora 8 installed on my laptop (Intel @ 2.6ghz), and work very good. I had problems with kernel panic when I was added new programs (using add programs). Instalation of new programs is bad side of this distrubution. Also if you want to watch a xvid movies, you must buy a codec. Hardware is supported at all :)

I'm happy with this distribution...
