I dont think he cares. Its better than having to eat wood chips and living in a fish tank like he had it before. The thing is they have shells so its not quite as invasive as you would think.

Fedora 16 - Easiest Upgrade Ever?Category: linux
So far everything works. I didn't have to destroy anything. It has been the easiest upgrade ever. I will post any weirdness I find tomorrow.
sudo rpm --import https://fedoraproject.org/static/A82BA4B7.txt sudo yum update yum sudo yum clean all sudo yum --releasever=16 --disableplugin=presto distro-sync sudo reboot

Okay so grub2 was awesome for the main drive and not so awesome trying to get it to add a secondary linux load line on a second encrypted drive. The instructions were all over the place as grub2 has obviously changed a bunch.
I ended up need to put the config in /etc/grub.d/40_custom and then rerunning grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg
Part of the problem was just trying to figure out the right device id. "sudo blkid" is your friend in that case.

ya, I went straight for it. I am using an nvidia card with the nouveau drivers and it works perfectly well for me. Not sure. I haven't used the nvidia drivers since F14.

Folks are having issues with nvidia cards (my stupid card with the switching technology, in particular). Apparently, the noveau drivers aren't out for this version of fedora yet or something of that sort.
Anything absolutely excellent?

I did not switch to grub2 yet. Regular grub works fine with fedora 16. I have so many other things in my grub setup and I didn't feel like dealing with conversion issues last night.
