I have been using FC5 for about 6 months now. Time to upgrade my IBM Thinkpad T30 with the new shiny FC6. (You can tell I am a upgrade freak )

The installation went without problem. I like that Fedora Extras can be selected during installation. So, I just install tons of stuff from it.

By default, the Xen enabling kernal is used. It's boot up very slowly, with all the Xen stuff loading. The text console is ugly under this kernel, it's fuzzy and screen size is somewhat incorrect. Anyway, I login and tried it a bit to see what's in it. The first thing I noticed is that cpufreq scaling didn't work in this kernel. Alway, that's it for Xen for me... maybe I will try it later.

So, I reboot into the -up kernel. Boot up is much faster. GNOME seem loading up alright. Network wizard show it detected both of the build-in ethernet and Intel 802.11b wireless. So, I start Network Manager to get my WLAN going. To my surprice, it DIDN'T work! It keeps asking for WEP key but failed to connect. I tried so many things and still no luck. What I saw on ifocnfig is tx is working (so it seems), but rx is 0.... weird. Search the forum and no one reporting this yet... So, I am struck with ethernet only right now. It's now work, for some reason the hardware seem to struck at a weird state that only reboot to XP fix it.

gaim 2.0 (beta) seems like an improvement, I like some design change, but not on others.... oh well.

laptop suspend seem to work now, but let's see this still work after I add the ATI X driver later....

Build-in sounds work out of the box, nothing to write home about.

The only major problem I found right now is the laptop lock up from time to time..... the whole display just freeze.... damn. It happens more often than I would like, even when compare to FC5.... I think it's a GNOME problem... and 2.16 should be better? NOT....

The adventure continues.
