Fedora 15 confident of a good release
Given Fedora's excellent track record on QA from F10 + (i have used all releases since then) I think and I hope that F15 will be a stable, and fast release.
I know that many have commented on GNOME 3 and the rights/wrongs of it I won't judge it until I've used it. Will give it couple of months for updates as well, before I make up muy mind.
All the best to my fellow Linux fans!.
