    Classification: Fedora

Description of problem:

Need simple quick summary of vital data, like kernel version, gnome/kde
versions, etc.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
current release notes.

Actual results:

Have to search down to "8.7.3. System Environment-Kernel" to get a hint what to
tell VMWare is the guest Linux type.

Expected results:

Y'all are still proud of having recent levels, right?  And I know y'all used to
mention these early, if not prominently...   Right now, first semi-mention of
that kernel thingy is under "4.1.2. Better webcam support" ??

Additional info:

Not everyone is conversant with the current state of things - hand 'em a clue?

--- Comment #1 from A. Mani   2009-11-22 11:35:10 EDT ---
I think we should have a section like 'Changes in Fedora 12: Summary' including
info on Kernel, desktops and other package versions.

The question is also about how much of 'How-To' info to include in the release
notes. Ideally the user should be referred to the user-guide. A prominent
notice should be in place. We have a reference to the install guide, but none
for the user guide.

Obviously this can only be rectified in a future release.
