I ran F12 KDE Live for a couple hours last night. Mostly surfing and doing what I could do without having access to my real data. It wouldn't run properly on my laptop. (HP HDX9494 aka Dragon). It installed fine and it ran OK, but the video on the laptop display was corrupted. You could see the windows and icons, but they were a very dim blue color like you were looking through a snowstorm. This isn't the first time I've had video trouble with Fedora and this machine. I currently have an open bug attributed to another display problem. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=525767 Because of this issue I stopped running F12 on my laptop. I then installed it on my wife's HP laptop, where it ran almost perfectly. F12 looks great. Everything worked perfectly except for what can best be described as a bit of a stutter with kickoff when in classic mode and selecting from various items. All the laptop functionality worked great. Sound, video, wifi, etc. It was all there and without any intervention on my part. We've come a long way, baby ! All in all, I give F12 KDE an A+ from what I saw in my test. I am going to log a bug about the video problem on my laptop.
