I read the release notes. Where did they say: "This is bleeding edge
software. We skipped alpha and beta testing. Sorry, if you've got
problems because you're our guinea pig." ?
What I did read was that they had problems with nvidia, but it was
supposedly fixed. I read that KDE4 was a little rough around the
edges, but was supposed to be usable. I guess non of the alpha
or beta testers actually upgraded fc8-->fc9 or tried to use the
kicker replacement nor the taskbar no kmail. My mistake.
I guess that it is time to switch OSes if Redhat is going to be
misleading and preset an OS release notes which seem to imply
that all's well.
