To be honest - it's very confusing. I've managed to install Fedora 18
over my old Fedora 17 side by side with Windows 7 and I feel so geeky
now. I spent about 15 minutes only partitioning (not changed anything,
only reattached what was done in Fedora 17) in new installer. Now I'm
very happy that I know all that things about different partition types,
file systems, LVM's, raids, etc. but regular user is dead by now.

Maybe it's possible to measure time spend by user in each spoke? This
kind of feedback might help to improve something in the next Fedora release.
