And so another fedora release has made its way onto my laptop. Have i ever said i need to find another distro? Well, i need to find a new distro. some low lights:

• If you have an ATI card, sit this one out for a bit until the kids release an xorg 1.5 compatible version. my box is crawling here. crawling.
• networkmanager is now the default . yup, it still sucks. every now and then it refuses to connect to my wireless net. sigh.
• tried gnome/metacity again. up, it still sucks. so i installed windowmaker
• windowmaker is BROKEN. sigh. i was about to go grab the source and compile it myself but windowmaker.info isn’t responding no more.
• i’m giving xfce a try. i mean, how long can one stick with windowmaker anyway? it’s going alright so far. i mean i did install every possible config/tweak package for it
• new synaptics touchpad driver now defaults to no tapping. yup, that sucks. sigh.

now for the highlights:

• Upstart, the new init system, vastly increases boot speed. now i need to go read up on how it works.

yeah, i’m a little thin on the highlights . . . i need to find a new distro. . .
