For those of us that couldn't make it, can you post a quick run down of what rocks in Fedora 11?
For me, these are the benefits I like most: Firefox 3.5b4, will be Firefox 3.5 when it comes out. Its faster, its meaner, and it works better! Open Office 3.1 Open all those nasty xlsx/docx attachments (MS Office 2007) your co-workers are sending you now with ease! Nouveau the default driver for NVIDIA graphics chipsets I have removed one last piece of proprietary software from my system by removing the NVIDIA drivers! (Nouveau is an open source NVIDIA 3D driver) For Others, these features might be interesting: ext4 default file system Make ext4 the default files system for anaconda-driven installs (replacing ext3). User should notice generally better performance, and benefit from things like persistent preallocation when using updated torrent clients, etc. X Server 1.6 Newer version of the X server Presto Only downloads the changes to rpm updates, so updates go much faster VNC All things VNC replaced with TigerVNC, which adds more features. Fingerprint Better support for using your fingerprint as authentication. Faster Startup Fedora's goal is a 20 second boot to sign-on. Here is a big-n-nasty list of all the features highlighted in Fedora 11: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Releases/11/FeatureList
