I just wiped Ubuntu and installed the new Fedora 11 on my Toshiba laptop. More on Fedora 11 later but one thing I noticed straight away was the ridiculously slow internet. It seemed to be slow on the 'Looking up' website part of loading a page. A quick google brought this forum entry: http://forums.fedoraforum.org/showthread.php?t=221969

The solution? Go to about:config in your address bar. Filter for ipv6 and enable network.dns.disableIPv6 (set it to true).

Much better!

I just posted some screenshots of Fedora 10 (install and running). More to come soon and perhaps a quick review:

First impressions:

The installer is quite nice (perhaps better than Ubuntu's) but nowhere near as pretty as OpenSuse.
The default theme is much, much better than Ubuntu's.

I tried to install Suse 11 a few days ago. Very pretty installer but after reboot failure to configure new user.... I could login as root and start a basic X session but not much else. Gave up.

Tried to install Fedora. Installer quite nice but not as pretty. Everything was working great until I installed the Nvidia drivers using the instructions from the Fedora FAQ. Then nothing (black screen) and couldn't seem to reverse it...
