Is "IT" safe yet?
I upgraded to F16 and found a bunch of problems. So, I faded back to 15. Are the big problems worked out yet?
Most of what I faced was with KMail and some of the basic functions of KDE. You all might have seen some bigger issues. Actually F16 was the worst I seen for a while. But I'd like to upgrade if it's safe and all.

better off to wait for F16 IMO and try KDE4.8

I'm running F16 XFCE and the only thing that ever causes a system crash is Skype once in a while.

Hi,
I have a Lenovo Z570 laptop. Had issues initially with the suspend functionality. But ran fedorautils and upgraded the kernel and no issues noted on Gnome 3/KDE/XFCE.

Re: Is "IT" safe yet?
No issues with Xfce F16 on Dell Inspiron 1100 (Celeron 2.0 GHz with 1 gig of ram).
One problem I ran into was a Scribus specific bug, application crashes when attempting image export; but this appears to be Scribus problem and not Xfce F16 system problem. All other applications I normally use, work great

Re: Is "IT" safe yet?
I have F16 KDE with updates-testing enabled on a Dell Studio 17 (Intel) and a Desktop AMD Phenom II X4 955 with Nvidia using Open Source video drivers flawlessly, so far. I'm not seeing any problems at all.

Re: Is "IT" safe yet?
I think F16 with systemd is doing pretty well now, I boot it up in 25 seconds and shutdown in about 10-12 seconds
