Summary: Fedora 16, thanks in large part to GNOME 3.2, was an awful Linux distribution. With this new version, and GNOME 3.4, Fedora 17 is back to being a useful Linux distribution.
I have been using
Fedora,
Red Hat’s community Linux distribution, since day one back in September 2003 when Red Hat split its commercial Linux,
Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL). Back then,
people hated Red Hat for this move, but
businesses soon learned to love RHEL and Linux fans grew to love Fedora.
But, then along came GNOME 3.x, Fedora’s default desktop choice, and it all changed.
