Kudos to the Fedora 21 team
I like to bitch a lot on mailinglists, so I thought it's only fair to post a congrats
as well. I just installed the 21 beta. For hygeine reasons, I prefer clean installs to
upgrades, so I can't comment on the upgrade process, but the install for me went
flawlessly. I easily groupinstalled the KDE workstation stuff and am up and running as a
KDE box, all in about an hour (with most of that time spent downloading the packages over
DSL). Things seem to be smoother than 20 in a number of respects. I connect to my
wireless with fewer hassles (in 20, there's some issue with my router's DHCP and
NetworkManager that often results in a couple of timeouts before an address was assigned).
It *felt* (though I didn't time it( that KDE came up more quickly.
This went much more easily for me than the installation of 20. The only glitch I've
had so far was that when I first installed KDE, there was an "unnamed" KDE
Activity that I couldn't delete, but it disappeared when I rebooted.
I'm currently downloading all sorts of software I don't need to see if there are
installation conflict issues (which I ran into in 20), but so far, this is great!
