Beta++

The /etc/redhat-release from my Toshiba laptop, gypsy, the closest to a production laptop I have:

Fedora release 10.92 (Rawhide)

I backed up my home directory, installed F11 from the live USB, and yum updated everything. Restored the home directory back, and let the Gnome desktop complain and delete things it didn’t like, and I’m rolling. Kind of a ham-fisted upgrade approach, but effective and fast.

Now, I’m installing stuff I use that’s not on the LiveCD (Thunderbird, Sunbird, Xchat, devilspie, etc), and the gypsy will be on the bleeding edge again.

The most distressing thing that doesn’t work is the Enigmail Thunderbird plug-in. I presume a newer Enigmail version is in the works. It’ll shine when it shines.
