Fedora 9 add a lot of new features but doesn't add the most important thing - ease of use. They need to realise that an advanced distro will never recieve a large userbase, at least not until Microsoft still has a large share of the market.

i tend to use fedora/centos as they are closer to RHEL AS, my work environment.
Although gui friendly n shit, most of the time I run without X
@pita: again u posted the S word, mind ur language okkk?ubuntu is da shite!

Ppl plz dont install F9 if you have Nvidia cards. I made the same mistakeF9 has a prerelease Xserver wich Nvidia driver doesnt support. Apart from this one issue , it rox. Networkmanager is so kool, I never have any trouble with my Wireless Net now
like I had in F8. Sound Quality is better ! Dunno how that happened , but the same mp3's sound better in Amarok than they did in F8. KDE4 takes a little while getting used to
Overall , I would say its worth the upgrade if you dont have Nvidia Cards.
The Future is Open ..The Future is LINUX..

thanks. more reviews if some1 used it.
heh, I didnt read thread again that until u pointed it.
Back when I was in school, I use to hang out with group of kids that would only beat up kids who were smarter than us.
And when I discovered the interweb, I hung out with people who derived pleasure from belittling people who have accomplished more than I ever will.
Hmm I think I am seeing some pattern here.![]()

@aniketvb: i believe the X server (or nvidia driver) will be updated/available soon via online update so nvidia 3d accel will work, till then the nv or nuveau driver works well... see Fedora 9: Making stuff work The GNOME Commentary
