Based on the reviews and user feedback this is our best our release of Fedora Core 6 yet.

I am not so sure if you should be in so self-congratulory mode.  The
release by itself is fine but anaconda, or something below it, looks
mighty sick.  So far I had that experience on three different
machines - one i386, two x86_64 but different mobos/chipsets and two
updates (i386 and x86_64) and one a fresh install on a "virgin"
hardware.

I need specific bug reports that can be reported as common to say otherwise.

I installed FC6 on a computer with a SIS integrated video. Anaconda was not able to recognize the proper video card. Fortunately, the mention of the new option to pick whatever video driver you wish with xdriver= allowed me to continue the successful installation by specifying the sis video driver. Having flexible options which can be customized to meet the needs of the customer/ experimenter makes overcoming problems a lot easier than with earlier installers. I'm sure that there will still be tough installation problems in the future with installers. Anyway, I like the feature that is simplistic ab=nd still flexible. Overall, I think this concept will make installation on hardware which is questionably detectable a bit more manageable by the customer. For business, where the ultimate survival of an enterprise lies, there are administrators (you would think so anyway) which will buy bulk quantities of equipment, realize the specs and would prefer specifying their system parameters in an easy and flexible manor. This is a great release as far as I can tell and not too many obstacles were encountered on my end with this release.
Great job, but it will be better on the next cycle.
