Fedora Core DistroWatch reviews Fedora 7, and concludes: "While Fedora doesn't seem to have made great advances in the ease of configuring those finer things in life (like non-GPL drivers and non-free codecs), it's not overly complicated if you're willing to get your hands a little dirty. Once you start needing to customise the machine outside of standard Fedora boundaries though, things can become a little less reliable."

Moved away from Fedora but...

I moved away from Fedora to Debian on all my machines (i386, AMD64, ppc) but I still think Fedora is just great.
I tried the livecd of Fedora 7 on a machine with 1.5GB of RAM, chose the "run from RAM" option in GRUB and I was AMAZED by the speed, polish and ease of doing *anything*.

I fell in the same problem about the nvidia drivers, but was absolutely happy with the way Fedora handled the problem and brought back X.

Fedora 7 is a solid release. Full stop.
