Update - I have said ancient creaky workstation dual-booted Fedora 18 Beta and Rawhide and the Rawhide partition is now "stable". There were two show-stoppers on the Rawhide piece - some kind of bizarre X.org / nouveau issue that was locking the machine up when I opened Firefox, and a missing dependency for LibreOffice. Those have gone away and I can now use the machine in Rawhide. I'll probably switch to Firefox beta and put in the Chrome beta as well, since I spend a lot of time in the browser. Might as well live on the edge. ;-) -- Twitter: http://twitter.com/znmeb; Computational Journalism Publishers Workbench: http://znmeb.github.com/Computational-Journalism-Publishers-Workbench/ How the Hell can the lion sleep with all those people singing "A weem oh way!" at the top of their lungs? -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
