I installed F17 before xmas not realising that F18 hadn't been
released. I thought F17 was good and have just been considering
switching to Fedora as my distro.... now i'm beginning to wonder. It
seems to me that both the 6 month release distros are keen to put out
a release despite problems they may have encountered in development.
Seems to me that the best release cycle is an annual one... six months
is just not long enough to do all the development.
