One important point is that those apps (like Blender) that Hangs Up the system are due to the problematic i915 video driver otherwise Fedora 11 looks rock solid on my Dell Vostro 1510. Perhaps Fedora 11's use of later and improved linux kernel is why it behaves better than Gloria at least my laptop....

Follow up: I booted my Dell Vostro with acpi=off and the system kept hanging up unplugged. So I decided to fresh install Gloria x64 and POFF!, it did work ok while used as a LIVE CD, but after installation I got a system that always HANGS UP: plugged and on batteries! Wait, there is more . . . . The...

In this case I could keep on typing and using the mouse, then I restarted unplugged and the problem has gone. I think that during my fresh installation (plugged) some autocon...

I did a Gloria fresh install on my dual boot (Vista Home & Mint Gloria) Dell Vostro 1510 laptop (2 GB RAM) using EXT4. Everything ran perfect while working plugged to a power outlet. I did several restarts, installed several packages, surfed the web, etc. . . . fast and perfectly! When I restart...

After working 2 months perfectly, suddenly my dual boot laptop (Elyssa and Windows XP) can not connect to the internet (via wired or wireless). Rebooting with Win XP it does networking very well. One intriguing point is that Evolution mail client (while operating under Elyssa) does download my email...

I downloaded Bianca and burned it at slow speed. Tested and booted correctly on my laptop and another desktop but on a Intel's D865GBF mother board based desktop, the booting process hangs after 2 minutes aprox.
