I'm very excited about this upcoming release. Particularly GIMP 2.8, with it's single-window goodness.

Unfortunately for me, the piece of $@#! machine I run Fedora on won’t let me upgrade from 14 to 16 due to insufficient RAM, so I doubt I’m gonna be able to get 17, either.

That’s one VERY large hat.

I'm a Linux from Scratch partisan. My base system is built atop the remnants of an absolutely ancient TAMU/SLS core dating back to August 1992. Since I compile everything from source, I always have the latest versions of the apps of greatest interest to me. Plus, my kernel is really sleek, consisting of only the drivers I need.

That said, my multiboot GRUB monster does have a Fedora 16 environment. It's a splendid system and when 17 goes official, a "yum" upgrade will make that an easy transition.

2 weeks into FC16 and loving it. Will be one of the first in line for Beefy Miracle when the time comes. Most of my linux career was all about finding some old decrepit hardware and coaxing new life out of it by running linux. Now for me the game has changed and my current machine is gaming or server quality hardware with huge RAID arrays, as well as power supplies, chassis, fans, DRAM and other components to match. If you can afford it, spend some more $$$ and you well be well repaid. If you can’t, you can’t.

I'm current;y running F15.

I thought about upgrading to F16 in November, but btrfs wasn't ready yet, so I'm waiting for F17. While the other upgrades may be pretty cool, btrfs is what I'm really waiting for.
