I downloaded the F11 XFCE spin Alpha and was wowed by the stability of the distribution despite the alpha state. I ran with it for a while but dropped it because the updates were getting cumbersome - Fedora mirrors just don't like sending to where I am.
When the beta came out, I thought what the heck, let's ride this to the end. Didn't work out that way, as the beta kept kerneloops a busy little bee, along with bug buddy in overdrive. My touchpad no longer does scrolling and taps are not recognised. Wireless detection was 'fabulous', no matter where I was in the house it would always see 100% signal strength.
Occassionally, it would fail to detect my hardware on startup and refuse to launch X server. Shutdowns were hit and miss, going into an I/O error loop.
I did a reinstall hoping that something just got blitzed the first time, but no luck there either. As it is, I can't even keep it going long enough to log into Bugzilla :D
