Hi Fedora

I just wanted to give my impressions on the F21 install experience on
an iMac (but I guess it is applicable for any mac).

I installed F21 workstation on an Retina iMac after I made half the
SSD "free space". The installer set up all partitions and I went with
the default. Everything worked and it didn't mess up my macos install.
(I am a bit jaded since a previous fedora upgrade (F17 -> F18 I think)
made another mac unbootable.) So far everything seems to work fine
(except for some stuff I'll mention below). So great work everybody
involved!

Problems

Linux can't find the correct resolution of the screen, see
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1184204

The computer seems to boot into Linux as default, it would have been
nice if you could choose that somehow.

Again, I am really happy with F21!

/Andreas
