17

Tried upgrading Fedora 16 to 17 using PreUpgrade. No go. While Fedora upgrades usually go amazingly well, this'n started out ok but the sucker wouldn't shut down. It just panicked & froze.
Poking around, this was a problem in test versions that Red Hat kinda just let go. I found (possible) fixes but decided to just DL the CD & nuke & pave because I'm a lazy sod.
That worked fine. The Gnome update is still the same goofy Gnome interface. KDE is no better. BUT! This thing starts up & shuts down like Mac used to. So nice not having to deal with the long ass start ups & incredibly long ass shut downs of Mac/Win.
Wonder if anybody bothered to make a driver for my dumbass, very likely to be tossed off a cliff, 6 color Epson printer?
