“For most desktop users the faster boot time, better
software compression, Gnome 2.28 and KDE 4.3 will probably be the
main reasons to upgrade to this release. Some of the other new
features may come in handy though, depending on your individual
needs.“I don’t run multiple monitors nor do I do much with webcams so
neither of those features is useful to me. Nor do I install
software from the command line so the enhancements to PackageKit
don’t hold much appeal for me. Still, there’s nothing to really
complain about as far as new features go. There’s probably more
than enough here to make it worthwhile to upgrade.“The Fedora 12 installer was fast. Very, very fast! It took
about 4 minutes for it to install from the Live CD desktop. I think
it’s probably the fastest installer I’ve seen recently on any Linux
distro.“The install itself was easy and I had no problems with it.
Kudos to the Fedora folks for speeding up the install in such a big
way. I had expected a much slower and rather chunky experience from
Fedora 12 but I was pleasantly surprised to note how fast the
install went.”
