I did a fresh install on one of my test systems and all went well, so I
did an upgrade on my main system. No real issues. I had to uninstall the
accelerated Nvidia drivers, first though, and then after the install,
rebuild and install the driver to match the upgraded kernel....no big
deal with the new driver installer from Nvidia.
A couple of minor annoyances to note: Fedora still insists on making
Gnome the default desktop even though the default before the upgrade was
KDE. Also, to change the default, you have to login and use
switch-desktop, where before, should could do it from GDM. Also, I have
XFCE4 installed, and it previously would be listed as an available
session, but it is missing from GDM and switch-desktop. The upgrade to
KDE 3.1.4 was welcome, but the previous config wasn't entirely retained.
Of course, the desktop background image is Fedora and a link is on the
desktop to get to the old config. I haven't checked out what is there,
but other than the "busy" cursor and a new "Start Here" link on the
desktop, I don't see much else that has changed.
Sending this email is the only thing that I have done so far, but
Mozilla seemed to load a lot quicker than in RH 9, and it was much
quicker than in RH 7.x. Might just be the new Mozilla, but it sure is
nice to have the quick loads.
That's it for now. If I run into any problems, I will post an update.
