There's no way I can run my laptop on Rawhide - it's dual-booted with
Windows 8 Pro and Fedora 18. But I do have an ancient crash-and-burn
workstation I can run Rawhide on. It's currently dual-booted Fedora 18
and Linux Mint 14, but I rarely run the Mint part and I could easily
convert that partition to Rawhide or even blow away Fedora 18 and Mint
in favor of Rawhide.

How the Hell can the lion sleep with all those people singing "A weem
oh way!" at the top of their lungs?
