It being able to automagically switch graphic card for GPU load is a long shot at the moment. Nouveau doesn't even work on my system. It floods my system with messages [1] which makes it impossible to get to the desktop.

The docs tell me it is quite possible to create RAID partition using Anaconda. http://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/Fedora/20/html/Installation_Guide/Create_Software_RAID-x86.html http://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/Fedora/17/html/Installation_Guide/Create_Software_RAID-x86.html >Why is LVM a default "Partition scheme" (whatever that means)?

I >suppose I could as well write it on a sticker and glue it to the monitor Why do you want to use RAID-1 when you say that you have no idea what LVM or even Standard Partitions are? And same goes for employing full-disk encryption. If you don't know what to do with passphrase, you will inevitably use your data permanently and blame Fedora.
