"During tests, Fedora Core 6 impressed eWEEK Labs with the progress it has made toward making Security - Enhanced Linux - and the dramatically improved security protections that SELinux helps afford - more palatable. We also liked the look of Fedora Core's new graphical and command-line tools for managing Xen virtual machines, although, as with every Xen product we've yet tested, plenty of rough spots remain."

Just installed the 64 bit version of fedora 6. It's
quite accomplished, with only a few little bugs which you'll find in every distro, being a 64 bit OS I expected more. Hardware detection on my cheap gigabyte socket 754 mobo has been fine,
Just compiled and installed Nvidia drivers (needed a hack though) and Mplayer. The box automatically updated itself correctly.
The only major hassle was with machine hibernation which left the box messed up. Other criticisms are: the software selection tool... It works, but clicking a check box to select some package must set off automatic dependancy checks, as it is very unresponsive,
and the /proc/cpuload seems high !? It's reporting very large numbers (.7 - 1.0) just running "mplayer -vo xv" and browsing the web.. while "top" only reports mplayer as using 15% cpu, with daylight second.
My 2 cents.
Kudos to Redhat and Fedora.
