Finally after counting down the days my favorite GNU/Linux distro arrived yesturday afternoon. :) I just completed a net installation at home after a slow install from a overloaded mirror, and then I had to go to work just at it was finished. :( But of course I just started another download at work with a faster connection so I should have it installed and tested before lunch.

As always Fedora near the front of the free software movement.
