If you have no hardware specific requirements to stay on F11, I would recommend moving to F12 if not for anything else just to save you trouble from another upgrade at the time of release for F13. I do a fair bit of programming (C++, Python, some Fortran), watch movies and play 3D games on my F11 desktop at home. Too bad I have to use Ubuntu at the lab. :-\ > Prabhakar Pandey GL PS: please do not top post, please read the list guidelines. -- Suvayu Open source is the future.
