"However, becoming so dependent on a single distribution could be considered a handicap as well, so I downloaded FC10 for x86_64 to install on my HP Media Center. This system is a few years old; it has 2GB RAM, a 320GB drive that also dual-boots Windows XP, and an AMD Athlon64 X2 Dual Core 4200+ processor.

"The FC10 installation is very straightforward, but it took me three times to get it done. There seems to be a bug in the time zone selection part of the install where it will freeze the system. The third install I quickly pushed "Next" and avoided any configuration here. Luckily, it worked and I ended up doing the time configuration post-install."
