I think he is referring to the anaconda issue (more RAM required for
installation than actually running Fedora). The problem with that bug
was, even after anaconda was updated the release DVD (more likely what
any new user will download) still had the older version.

Open source is the future. It sets us free.
Suvayu,
Yes, you are correct, I was not even able to install F15 on my first
attempt. The memory limits were published incorrectly at that time.
Latter the additional memory requirement was published, I put in some
additional memory in the test machine I used, and got an install.
However, I could not make gnome3 work until several updates. I finally
released the machine for users, but everyone avoids using it. The
complaints I get are related to having an 'intermittant white screen'
that causes the desktop to be unresponsive requiring a reboot. I have
not had the time, but my next step to salvage this piece of equipment is
to use kde or one of the other gui's.
gnome3 is another subject. I decided to install F15 on a laptop for my
own use, and I actually like some of what gnome3 has done. The laptop
is not as old as my test machine so things are functioning much better.
I am still getting adjusted to it; my perception so far is that it
looks elegant and pretty, but gnome3 is difficult to use in a way that
achieves results quickly, and does not allow you to organize the desktop
into an efficient structure.
