that I have had with FC8/FC9. I had to end up using ndiswrapper to get it to work (Linksys
WPC54GS). The only things I noted of real interest were: Firefox starts much faster than
in either FC8 or FC9 and the update thingy hauls booty compared to YUM. Most annoying
things were the weird colors and this stupid jungle sound that goes off any time you log
in. Also, the whole "You can't get to root" thing is weird.

It's a 'you don't need a separate root password' and 'you
shouldn't log
in as root' thing. If you want to be root, just 'sudo su -' and use
your own password when prompted.
You can also change the root password and remove sudo in less than five
minutes.
