Unfortunately fedora sucks I had big problems with fedora 16. The apps just crashed randomly no clue why. If I could sugest something to fedora devs they should switch to rolling release cycle & spend more time polishing the distro

Where are the menus of applications? Why must the user interface be a collection of icons, with no organization? I hate my "smart phone" with it's brain-dead applications. May be ok for a 6 year old, who wants to find a game, but for someone who wants a robust interface where things can be found, well, nothing. I am leaving Ubuntu because of their use of a simualr interface, and wanted to come to Fedora. But now, I am very glad I have only installed on a test box, with no intended applications. Oh well, don't know what to do now, do not trust MS, amd Mac too expensive for nothing special.
