I am in F16 KDE now. It is faster than Kubuntu and GNOME shell is faster in Fedora, too. I am liking it.
I have spent a short time customizing and everything is working fine. It took just a short time. I have had no issues with graphics as I did with F14 and 15 because my old card was Nvidia and the new one is ATI. I will stick with F16 for a while. :) Roy Using Kubuntu 11.10, 64-bit Location: Canada On 11 November 2011 15:45, Hal <[email protected]> wrote: > ** > > > On Fri, Nov 11, 2011 at 03:04:16PM -0500, Scott wrote: > > On Fri, Nov 11, 2011 at 02:52:38PM -0500, Roy wrote: > > <snipped> > > > can't type anything worthwhile.
