But you can't have it right now.

Installation was perfect and got used to packagekit quiet easily. Found rpmfusion and installed the additional repositories. Overall like yourself, I found it easy to configure. The problems I ran into came down to more a lack of quality when it came to package building. I had major audio output issues. Sound quality was poor. I had all the gstreamer plugins installed. My favourite media banshee build was terrible. Once I added the media to banshee and shutdown the system it would not play audio and came up with gstreamer errors. When I used rhythmbox thats when I got furtner sound quality issues. All other aspects were ok. system-config-printer would not work straight away and had to install printers via cups in the browser. Fedora 10 is an OK release for but Mandriva 2009 seems to just have better quality when it comes to packaging and overall configuration. It was nice to try something else for a while. Hope things improve on the Fedora front. I gave Fedora 10 a spin for a couple of weeks. Installation was perfect and got used to packagekit quiet easily.
