Thanks.  I will try and live with this box for a bit longer. Perhaps get 
a new drive to put F19 on instead of risking an upgrade.  Then wait for 
F20 and look around again.

And for years I ran Centos on my notebooks before I finally took the 
dive to Fedora for the notebook and Centos for the servers.  I think 
that was back in F9 days.  So I can live with less than decent.
