Rawhide seems to be settling down so I decided it was time to try Rawhide on my server which had been running Fedora 10 with an older Rawhide kernel.
Initial installation and network setup went about as well as can be expected given the two networks and local installation files.
At first Apache and crontab just didn't work. Not seeing any relevant error messages, it took a while to identify Selinux as the bad actor. Things worked after disabling Selinux.
I installed dhcpd with add/remove software. This version doesn't work with the services applet. Another version of dhcpd apparently does work this way.
The advanced volume control app now starts the mixer. May I suggest it be called what it is - mixer.
Previously reported problems with the mixer not being able to select CD/AUX remain. I am trying to isolate a problem where the recording gain changes for no apparent reason, then changes back some time later.
Otherwise, with Selinux turned off and a few other tweeks Rawhide seems to be stable running omen.com.

I hope you will report the bugs, one of the reasons I use Fedora is that it has both SELinux and recent versions of things. Dropping SEL certainly makes it less suited to externally visible systems.

Another reason it's not ready for production use.

I'll have to try the advanced volume control, since sound has yet to work for me on any machine with fc11.

It was never called mixer in the menus. It was called 'Volume Control'. The new 'Volume Control' is the simplified, PA-based one. This is the old one, which we're providing for fallback purposes for cases which the new Volume Control no longer properly handles, so 'Advanced Volume Control' was the best name I could come up with.
Calling it a 'mixer' is problematic for anyone who is unaware of the fact that, in computer operating systems, the application you use to change volume levels is often called a 'mixer'. If you don't know this, the name 'mixer' really doesn't imply that you can use it to set volume levels.

Please elaborate. The 'Advanced Volume Control' mixer (command name gst-mixer) is just the same code that was called gnome-volume-control in Fedora 10. It should work as it did in F10 and earlier. The new one is known not yet to be able to do input switching, which is a major reason we're also providing the old one.
