After spending several days with Fedora [12], I find that I'm happy with this release.

Me, too! Runs great in a dual boot laptop with Windows 7.

I installed F12 yesterday, and so far it's been pretty impressive on this 6 year old P4 laptop.

The F10 would have the X server crash when xscreensaver would run for a while. This version doesn't do that any more.

Yea!

Anything big that would make me want to upgrade from F11 to F12?

I noticed that Mandriva 2010 has an administrative right that can be granted to a regular user to do package updates. This is what I have been doing, without having to use the root password.

I’ve been tempted to try Linux on a spare computer I have here. Would you suggest Fedora for that?
