Exactly. The OP is expecting from Fedora what it is not; and what
Ubuntu is not, in spite of its upcoming "LTS" release. F12 and U 9.10
were released a few weeks apart and they both had the same teething
problems (with Ubuntu having the extra burden of grub2 - whose bugs
had been mostly ironed out by release time - but with which the users
were totally unfamiliar). What the OP seems to want is some Fedora
version of CentOS or Debian Stable...
