Re: [LINUX_Newbies] F16

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. :)
