I've upgraded a couple of systems from F14 to F15 using preupgrade. Everything seems to have gone fine.
I'm slowly getting used to GNOME 3 and I'm sure that it will make sense to me one day.
But it strikes me that there will now be a number of obsolete RPMs hanging around on my system. These will be the RPMs relating to features used in GNOME 2 but not in GNOME 3. I'm thinking of things like compiz and all of the applets. Is there any reason why I shouldn't just remove all of these RPMs? Are there any more that I can remove safely?
You can use package-cleanup; however, read the man page before using it. Beware that --orphans flags locally installed packages as well as those no longer found in your enabled repositories.
