Fedora 16 Day 2

Fedora 16 is working out excellent for me so far. I have not had any crashes or lockups. With a cutting edge OS I would expect some issues but I have not had any.  I was looking for a GUI Linux system for my main system.  If this was my server systems, I would go with a command line Linux system only to save system resources and a GUI is really not needed on a server system.  It looks like Fedora will be my main system for a while. I hope all the tools hold up for all the administration task I like to do.

I do feel that there should have been more software on the system. I found myself installing thing I needed; such as,  flash, office, xchat,  skype, burn, nmap, vim and git. I can understand keeping the system light but how about the option during install. I also found myself falling back to yum to install tools. The GUI install tool just did not feel normal to me.

The look of Fedora is good quality.  I had to change the wallpaper to a fade color just my attitude.  I really did not like any of the wallpaper by default but there is a tone on the net so Fedora should stick to the OS development and let us tweak the GUI how we want.

Over all, I really do like Fedora 16. I am going to be using the OS for some time and we will see how it goes. I will keep you all up-to-date on my findings.
