Fedora 15 Lovelock is not my love - Review
Michael Jackson has got nothing on me. Probably because there was no Linux when he recorded Billie Jean. On a serious note, I took Fedora's fifteenth release for a spin this week to see what it can or can't do. Since it comes with Gnome 3, this ought to be a spicy challenge.
My expectations were lukewarm. Fedora is intended for professionals mostly, users with decent knowledge of Linux and a willingness to risk and sweat. People often grumble how my articles are oriented toward pure desktop use in the hands of inexperienced users, therefore some of the tests are unfair. But since it bears the label desktop somewhere in its name, release notes or elsewhere, so must Fedora Lovelock bear the brunt of a full review.
