F17 was fine until i discovered that in fact F18 should have been out before Xmas. I find the 6 month releases counter productive i feel now after 5 years of using linux. Always keen to point out the benefits but i feel that a release is out on a certain date and that's it. I've switched to a rolling release this week and i'll see how i get on with that. F18 imo isn't worth putting on. james -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
